It might not mean much to many people, but over the weekend my blog reached 10,000 hits. A heck of a lot more people then I ever thought my blog would reach and only a little over a year since I started it.

Beach pictures
June 2, 2009With only a week delay here are the pictures from the recent family trip to Ocean City. It was a lot of fun, but also a little exhausting. A 15 month old doesn’t really slow down until they fall asleep. The Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 got a bit of a work out on the trip and I am coming to like this lens. It isn’t the sharpest certainly, though it is acceptable wide open and pretty sharp stopped down a stop or two, but the wide aperture and zoom range are very nice. Still not as fun as a prime, at least to me, but I like it for just walking around or when I don’t know what I am going to be shooting (like a toddler running from 8ft away to 2ft away being able to zoom from 70mm to 28mm to take the picture quick). All of the B&W was shot on Ilford XP2 super and I used my OM-1n with a Zuiko 50mm f/1.8 sc lens attached. I used this combo in the leather case as 1) The camera meter doesn’t work properly anymore, so I care less about the camera getting sand in it (if it happened), 2) I care the least about this lens then any other I have, so if sand got in it I wouldn’t be devastated, 3) the leather case does cut down on how much sand gets in it, 4) primes just have more fun.
