I recently picked up a new toy - the Canon EF 135mm f/2L lens. My good buddy Rick had loaned me his for a weekend a while back and ever since I’ve been lusting after it and wanting to get my own. And now that I do, I find myself wanting to shoot in more low light situations where I might have avoided them in the past.
So last night as the sun was setting, I went outside with my 5D Mark II, the 135mm f/2L and my tripod and shot some photos along with this short little video. Nothing fancy. Just having a little fun with the depth of field and thought I’d share it with you here.
Nothing fancy. Just a fun depth-of-field experiment with my Canon 5D Mark II and my new Canon EF 135mm f/2L lens that I just bought.
Shot at 9:15 pm. ISO at 3200. Aperture priority mode set at f/2.
It was four years ago today that we officially started onOne Software. It’s hard to believe it’s been that long, but time flies when you’re having fun. Seriously, I can’t imagine having a better place to work than onOne. Great people, great environment, great products and great customers.
On behalf of everybody who works here at onOne Software, I’d like to say a big THANK YOU to all of you who have purchased our products and support our efforts to bring you great products!
Wow. What a great photo contest we had in June! There were nearly 200 entries this month, making it our largest competition to date. Dave Cross, our guest judge for June, definitely had his work cut out for him. In the end though, only one photo could be selected as the winner.
I was just looking through some of the photos in the onOne Flickr Group and the onOne Exchange Flickr Group and wanted to remind everybody about using presets in PhotoTools. Presets are a great way for you to streamline your photo editing workflow and this video by senior product manager Dan Harlacher shows you how to use them and how you can share the ones you create on the onOne Exchange.
The only reason I mention this, is earlier today, I was browsing the web site of Los Angeles Times Staff Photographer Robert Lachman and came across the collection of photos his father, Mort Lachman, took of Bob Hope using 35mm Kodak KODACHROME film. Robert (@photoandmac on Twitter) has been sharing these photos with readers of his website for almost a year now.

Be sure to read the stories on Robert’s web site to learn more about his father Mort and his relationship with Bob Hope. There are some great photos up there.
