(Day 329) - Carry a Big Lens

These two big lenses are the ones I use the most when photographing CJ. The 18-55 wide angle is used when CJ is shooting a large scene, like in the city or a landscape. The 28-75mm (with a macro zoom) is for more detailed scenes.

At times, you may notice that CJ will also swap his lens for different purposes. However, he's doing some camera maintenance today. Hey wait...MY lenses are not tables! Oh well, maybe he feels more motivated up there. 📷😆
nice lenses and CJ sure has a collection of cameras :-)

Looks so cute as he's getting his gear organized and cleaned.

January is inventory month, CJ sets a good example for the rest of us.

Great perspective.

CJ must spend a lot of time on B&H! Some great lenses you've got there. Always good to have a 2.8 aperture.

oh nice composition!

A great story and idea with CJ. This is a nice connection of the equipment in both if your bags. Fun.

he looks right at home there

Looks like CJ even has underwater cameras (or at least my own one is all-blue and small). Curious. Do you have two lenses stacked or what is a macro-zoom?

Nice equipment... and yours is not bad either 😉

CJ has more cameras than you! Nice lenses, are they the Pentax K fit and weather proofed??

Great work! Found someone who I can relate to - blocks!

Great shot

@jyokota - Haha yep he really enjoys his under water cameras!

Nope, I don't have two lens stacked. There are just two lenses in the photo.

A macro zoom lens enables you to focus slightly closer to a subject than a given focal length would normally allow. I've tried using a true macro before with CJ but it makes him appear far too big.

A zoom macro is just right for me. It helps the camera to focus on him without having to physically move my camera back far in order to focus on him. Hope that made sense. LOL.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond - He's quite spoiled haha (although I have so many just in case we ever lose one...haven't yet though).

Thanks very much. Yep they're both K-fit and weatherproofed. They've been very effective in light rain.

@gggg - Thank you! So happy to meet another lover of blocks! Welcome to 365!!

@cjphoto - that's more technical information than I can digest easily but I'll try to figure it out -- thanks for the explanation!

@jyokota - Haha okey doke, you're welcome Junko. When you photograph small things like I do, most leneses have a hard time focusing on it, a zoom macro just makes it easier.

You even make lenses look fun to photograph!
January 11th, 2020  
CJ has an impressive amount of kit!

@olivetreeann - It's funny, it starting off with me photographing CJ with the lenses behind him but evolved to him sitting on top of them "just to see how it would look" and I loved it. Love how experimentation in photography can get you some interesting results.
