Scenes from Halloween (and a 50 mm 1.2)

A trip to the apple orchard this morning and a midday snack (mysteriously delivered to our doorstep by one of our favorite ghouls) made for great subject material while I was experimenting with the Canon 50 mm 1.2 today–the most delicious of all lenses. Yum.

This lens is NUTS. Almost as delicious as the candy I will be eating later.

Thanks to Auntie Melissa for the wardrobe styling and Aunt Diana for the yummy witch hat cookies, complete with an M & M coreā€”have you ever seen such a great idea?

And Halloween is just beginning, more to come! Dragon wings still under construction, and our own Curious George is climbing the walls, as usual!

    I’m terrified to pull out the 50mm 1.8 when shooting moving kids as I always end up with just an ear in focus.

    heck yeah, awesomeness! I can only image the fun f1.2 must be…I pretty much live at 1.8, even more selective focus would be truly awesome!
