85mm Sharpness


Photo-A-Day #3577

I received a great package from the Imagelogger program the other day. I received an 85mm lens and a flash and also a camera strap and a battery charger. A great package of cool things. I got my chance to use the lens today on my NX1. The image isn’t really of anything too amazing but I love the sharpness of the image. There is so much depth of field that you cannot even tell that there is a light switch on the wall going up the stairs. I can’t wait to use this even more.

Loot Crate REWIND


Photo-A-Day #3576

I’m a couple of days late on this one. I received my Loot Crate for January on the 20th and haven’t had a chance to thoroughly explore it. It was full of some very cool retro items.

The big item inside was an exclusive Voltron T-Shirt. This blueprint looking shirt with the Lion Voltron on it is exclusive to Loot Crate members. There was also a Retro Arcade Skinny Tie from Black Tie Geek. It has space invaders on it. I love little toys and figures and this time around was a 10-Doh! figure. I didn’t get the rare gold one but I did get a Dr. Who one. Each of these figures looks like an old NES cartridge but has arms and legs. They even have the NES Zapper to hold. I would have LOVED to get the Fire Hunt one which was a take on Firefly and Duck Hunt. Very cool.

The crate also contained a very special Loot Crate variant cover of the new Star Wars comic book from Marvel. It features Han and Chewy smuggling some special crates across the galaxy.

Also included was a cool little book. It is the Comic Note Book. This is a tiny blank comic book. with stencils for word balloons. This was from the Unemployed Philosopher’s Guild. I think I may pick up another one of these for Eva. She likes to draw.

The box was once again super cool. This time the box was a Nintendo Entertainment System and part of the mini magazine pops out to make a controller. I love it.
