A new toy

In the last few weeks I booked a couple new weddings.  This alone is exciting!  However, I have more good news.  I decided to take the deposits and put them to work.  I bought my first L series prime lens.  I decided that the most important thing for me to improve on was portraits and this lens rocks portraits.  It is the canon 35mm f/1.4L.   I am not sure why the L is red, but it is.  So it is.  Here is a picture from B&H:

I have only had it for a day, but I got out to the park to shoot a few sample shots.  I love the look of these shots (except the color was sucked up in the lower picture by blogger):

This is my beautiful Georgia at the park just after eating at our pizza picnic.  She was very proud because she ate the pizza like a big girl for the first time (we did not cut it up).  This is why her face is all dirty.

This shot is right outside our house and Georgia is throwing her princess ball at me.  I haven't had the heart to tell her, but she throws like a girl.
