Collecting dust

If I really have to find a negative thing about my job, it would be that my Lomo, Holga, Yashica and even my Canon A95 has been doing nothing but collecting dust for six months now.When I shoot as much as I do on a daily basis, I don’t have this “need” or desire to go explore the city. I should probably sell them all. Well… Maybe not the Lomo. I’m sure I’d bring it when going on a vacation or something.Anyway one of the papers I work for ran a story on a dog training ground that is occupied heavily in the weekends. Here’s a few outtakes from my trip to the field.dogtraining_170207_BP.jpgCanon EOS-1D Mark II n, EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM @ f/2.8 1/2000sec, ISO320 (Photo: Brian Poulsen).dogtraining2_170207_BP.jpgCanon EOS-1D Mark II n, EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM @ f/2.8 1/1600sec, ISO320 (Photo: Brian Poulsen).dogtraining3_170207_BP.jpgCanon EOS-1D Mark II n, EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM @ f/2.8 1/1600sec, ISO320 (Photo: Brian Poulsen).

Hello 300mm f/2.8

I did it .. I went out and bought the Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM. It’s amazing!!I shoot quite a bit of soccer (not the season right now though) and the 70-200 just doesn’t have the reach.I brought the lens to the hockey game today to test it out and what a blast that was…Here’s a shot from today’s game.jiripodesva_230207_BP_small.jpgJiri Podesva gets just enough of the puck with his glove to keep it from going into the net.
