Trying to Snow
It was trying to snow all day and well into the evening yesterday in Kelowna. Thankfully the snow hasn’t been sticking to the ground, so I’m ok with it. The snow flakes got really big at one point so I ran into my back yard and shot this photo on our basketball court. I actually don’t mind a little snow when it’s not sticking, but the moment it starts piling up, I’m over it 😄.
Thanks for…

A very generous follower got me the "do everything" lens I was saving up for and I don't know how to thank them. They'd like to remain anonymous, but I wanted to share my first image and dedicate it to them. Check out them bokeh balls.
The thing about lenses is they often don't perform well at their widest aperture. So if you are shooting in low light, you have to take a serious hit to quality and detail. But the Sigma 50mm Art said, "That sucks" and made their lens near perfect even at f/1.4.
Here you can see a $100 lens at f/1.8 vs the Sigma at f/1.4.
Note that just going from f/1.8 to 1.4 is a huge optical engineering challenge and then to end up with a sharper image is even more impressive.
So thank you anonymous follower, you have made the first step of my new photography journey much easier. I now have the proper tool to get started and that is amazing.

This post by @un-monstre had me by the balls
(ID in alt and under cut)
ID: 1. Stede in the foreground, eyes closed with a patient smile and his hands pressed primly together. He says, "I believe Ed has something to say to you all." Behind him is Ed, beard short and hair in a high pony, wearing a purple dressing down tied tight around his waist. He is sweating and baring his teeth in an uncomfortable smile, holding a silver platter with both hands. On the platter is something resembling a cake, dark brown with a gloopy mess of orange icing on top and collapsed on one side.
2. Close up on the top of the cake, where we see clumsy writing in white icing that says "sorry I marooned you" followed by a heart slipping down into the deflated edge. Dreamy bokeh lights pop into the background to try to help it look more impressive.
3. Reaction shot from Lucius as he leans forward to read the cake, clearly unimpressed. He raises an eyebrow and points out,"Soooo, the only one of us who can read is the one you pushed overboard. Do I get a cupcake or something?" /end ID
