Just added a lens to my small collection (still only primes). This is a moderate wide-angle on my 5D Mark II from Zeiss, a new lens released last Oct. It is a very high quality piece of glass, manual focus only. But, it’s “chipped” so I get focus confirmation, EXIF data, etc. It’s really nice to use, and feels of even higher quality than my “L” lenses. I had a chance to play with it a bit over the weekend. Most of the shots at/near/in the Walt Disney Concert Hall:

This has proven to be an interesting week. I am glad that it is over however. I managed to acquire a color enlarger, a few new cameras and a few other toys but unfortunately very little time to test them. It is  rather embarrassing to acknowledge that I have way more cameras than time to test them. The number in question will remain unspoken (not to worry Kal, you still have the biggest and heaviest cameras).

Final three Bison portraits I’d like to share. They really are magnificent creatures – quite surreal to think that there were once 10’s of millions roaming the N.American grasslands. They were hunted to the brink of extinction but have since rebounded somewhat. Still, only 10’s of thousands now remain.

Looking towards the East up BB Ganguly Street, Kolkata. I moved the first from a previous post.

WHEN dawn’s first cymbals beat upon the sky,
Rousing the world to labour’s various cry,
To tend the flock, to bind the mellowing grain,
From ardent toil to forge a little gain,
And fasting men go forth on hurrying feet,
Buy bread, buy bread, rings down the eager street

First stansa  from Street Cries by Sarojini Naidu (1879 – 1949)

Last colour images I intend to share from my Yellowstone trip (the rest are B&W)… Shot 5 rolls of film and have what I feel like are some good keepers, so overall pleased (although overall, the hit rate was lower than with B&W).

One of my favourite characters! I enjoyed a hot chai with this chap just after sunrise in a courtyard off  BB Ganguly street. I wrote his name down but will have to hunt through my notes to find it. One of my favourite portraits from one of my favourite walks in Kolkata.

There have been so many amazing additions to Lost in Focus in the past month that I was inspired and spent some time making 25 new banners (to add to the 22 I’ve already made and posted here http://www.lostinfocus.org/?p=5338) for the top of the LIF website.  Lawrence, I hope its OK that I keep making these — and that its not too much of a hassle to include them in the rotation at the top — but I think it will be very cool to have the collection continue to grow, featuring everyone’s work, so that it will be a different experience by all visitors to LIF every time they come to our fair internet community…
