I’m hoping that my childhood isn’t ruined any further by Hollywood come Friday. I’m looking at you GI Joe: The Movie.
I was cleaning out the apartment since I’m making a move to a bigger and better place and ran into my old toys. Since the new GI Joe movie is being panned by just about everyone, I wanted to remind myself just how much fun this franchise used to be.
I am praying this won’t be as bad as I hear, but I am cautiously optimistic. Hollywood already ruined Transformers for me, I hope they don’t fully destroy my childhood memories with GI Joe The Movie.
I received a Nikon D60 in January 2009 as a birthday gift. It was my first digital SLR EVER and I was eager to learn as much as I can about photography. Several months passed and I became very accustomed to the 18-55mm kit lens the camera came with. The kit lens takes very good pictures, but the depth of field and sharpness left me wanting more.
I read several fantastic reviews for the new Nikon 35mm 1.8G lens and quickly placed an order on Amazon on the first of May. The lens finally arrived on June 15th and it was well worth the wait. First of all, I had to get used to walking towards and away from the subject since the lens does not zoom (it is a prime lens after all). At an aperture of 1.8, the depth of field is just sick, for a lack of a better word.
I’m not going to review the lens because there are far better and more professional people out there that have done so. I’m blogging about the lens because I’m excited for the projects I’ve been inspired to create. Thanks Nikon, it was well worth the month-long wait.
