film + lensbaby = big love.

so i found one of the older lensbabies (the lensbaby 2.0) online at adorama and, after obsessively checking the tracking updates, like, every ten seconds for three days, it arrived saturday.
woot.
click on the diptych to see it bigger -- these are my faves from the first roll of film i picked up today.  on the left is the view looking south from my yard, on the right is some really vibrant swiss chard growing in my parents' greenhouse.
it was really really really good to have such a great excuse to play with my canon eos 3 -- i think i've neglected it quite terribly since graduation ... and to add insult to injury, it's recently been evicted from my domke because i discovered the sony hdcam i use for work fits in the domke f2 like it was made for it.
so.  lessons learned.
1.  stop being a putz and shoot more.
2.  use a tripod if you want to get anything decent when shooting with the macro attachment(s).
3.  get the rest of the dirt for the greenhouse out of the back of the truck so you can take herri on a romp this weekend and the first photo expedition since the fall of 2006. 
4.  woot.  this lens is so worth being broke between paychecks.  :)
