Mark, thanks, I love it so far - no complaints, and I'm enjoying exploring ALL kinds of new subject matter, as you can see. The Fruit tarts were GREAT, and I got the focus right where I needed it. I've done small oil paintings of two of the pastries so far, and i HAVE to use photos, as they don't last more than an hour at my house. Canon Macro lens EF-S 60mm 1:2.8 I would rather have one good lens than 5 mediocre or cheap ones, so I research a lot before I purchase, and now I have 2 lenses - one for the track, landscapes, etc. and one for portraits, still life and macro. Anything else and I'll rent a lens for a day to try it out first, Now paintbrushes - I have about a hundred of all sizes and kinds, and several types of paints in all colors and media. Life is good, I love being a decadent American. al On Mar 15, 2011, at 9:42 PM, Mark Smith wrote: |
