A day spent enjoying the sun, relaxing with food and topping it off with some deadly dessert, death on a fork is a pretty thorough description.


Finally had a chance to settle in and test some new equipment. Among them, the extremely basic, extremely sharp and extremely light 50mm F18 II from Canon;
This is the lightest EF lens of all at a mere 130 g (4.6 oz.). Compact and high-performance, standard lens. Its Gaussian optics provides sharp delineation from near to far focusing distances. The colour balance is excellent of a standard lens.
Just some test shots, but as you can see above, had a very cooperative subject too
Also a quick self portrait below;
For the fun of driving and the adventures on back roads…


A day away from the city and up to the mountains…
