A Sunday Trip to the Zoo
I took a trip to the Columbus Zoo with my daughter today. It was a beautiful day in Central Ohio, and I had a wonderful time with her, and enjoying photographing the animals. I brought my trusty (but heavy) Canon FD 50-300mm f/4.5L lens on my GH2. With the 2x crop factor of micro 4/3,…

A Shower of Sparks
Failing wheel bearing hub assembly? Check. Dremel with metal cutting wheel? Check. Tripod mounted long lens set far enough back to not be melted by flying sparks? Check.
