Don’t wake Sarah up to early….

Portrait of a friend’s dog named Cali. Shot with a 135 at F2- probably my favorite lens. Its incredibly sharp corner to corner, even wide open. It also costs considerably less than the 70-200 F2.8 IS, while at the same time being much smaller and lighter. It’s also black, which draws far less attention if your trying to shoot candidly. Many of my shots from the Shambhala 2012 post were with this lens.

These are some portraits I took of Sarah on our trip to Vancouver back in September. Both were taken in the Yaletown area of downtown with natural light only. I generally don’t like using a flash unless I have too.
