    28mm in the mail and huge redwoods = happy cam this weekend

    My wife and I are headed to the huge redwoods in humboldt this weekend so I finally pulled the trigger on that shiny new 28mm 1.8 I’ve been eyeing.

    I really like taking picture of huge trees, but I hate my 18-135mm, and my next widest lens is a 40mm prime. That was a bad combination and it needed fixing.

    Hope I can figure it out and get you guys some good pictures this weekend!

    Any tips for shooting big trees from my photographer friends out there?

    Thanks for the advice guys!

    • Shoot early and at sunset, likely fog and lighting is the best
    • Stitch together for huge trees and landscapes
    • Put something in for scale so you can really feel the immensity of the trees

    Blue Damselfly Head Sex This blew my mind. Damselflies (and dragonflies) often hold onto each other before mating. This doesn’t look like a nice first date! (Marin, California - 5/2013)
