I’ve been mourning the loss of my iPhone 5. (It’s a long story. Well – maybe not. Old college buddy comes to town, we go out, Irish car bombs happened, and boom…iPhone lost.) I have gone into a deep depression over not having the iPhone 5 camera and I really, really miss you, Siri. But every cloud has it’s silver lining. Because I was using my iphone camera so much, I had stopped using my “big” camera to take everyday pictures – which is why I began taking classes and learning more about photography in the first place. This weekend I decided to just play around with my camera like I used to. For those of you who are interested, I shoot with a Canon 5D Mark II. Normally, I shoot with a 24-70mm f 2.8 but this weekend I wanted some practice with my relatively new 50mm f 1.2. Here are some shots with the 50mm and edited with my also new VSCO lightroom presets.
Luckily, grandma stopped by with a big surprise that provided for some kodak moments…two of the most adorable dwarf rabbits. They were just like the rabbits she had bought me when I was a kid. She even told Marisa that I had named my rabbit Oreo, and Marisa decided to name the white rabbit Oreo as well. The dark one is named Buttercup. (Marisa named him.) His coat is so luxurious and soft, like velvet. The rabbits will thankfully be staying with Grandma, but it’s nice to know they are nearby for the kids. Marisa is so excited to help take care of them. She even asked us if we would drive her to Grandma’s everyday because she needed to help Grandma clean up the poop and feed the rabbits. Kate was just in love and did not want to put them down. We just need to work on her not hugging and squeezing too hard.
