So to prevent falling asleep I got home earlier and got out on my bike, brought the D90 armed with my new Nikon Nikkor 35mm/f1.8lens, of course!
 100% crop of the sign in the shot above.

Hope it's not long before I can ditch the shoe covers! The 35mm lens feels much more versatile than the 50mm even if both is prime lenses and can't be zoomed. Think it will be on the camera a lot, a lot more than the 50mm one. Haven't found any real flaw yet, it's fast, sharp, excellent bokeh and color rendition.

Now I'm going to try catch some sleep!

Oooh, nice splash! Really good!
ReplyDeleteWas the trails in that area rideable or still too soft?
Thanks! Liked it too, was worth wet feets. ;)
ReplyDeleteYes and no, where there had been shade the trail was enjoyable but as soon as you got where the sun had managed to shine on the trail it was mushy, not even the enomorphs helped then. :(
