Stories from the Canon 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5

Here are a few shots from the Canon 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 lens that I rented from Lensrentals.com last week. I originally rented the lens for the Pacific Jungle Sessions show we just held, but I was able to get some great use out of it elsewhere. Whether it was fate or luck, the BYUH Salsa Orchestra (formerly the BYUH Jazz Ensemble) was having their concert the night before our show. It was also the last concert for my friend Will Yokoyama because he's graudating, so he asked me to come out and take some pictures for him. I did.

Here are a few of the results, along with some pictures from Pacific Jungle Sessions and sights around Honolulu:

It was hard sending that nice lens back through the mail, just as I suspected. It gave me a taste of quality glass and made me realize I can't settle for anything less if I want to continue to progress as a photographer. Next stop, L series!

These were also taken with my new external flash - Canon 580ex and a Gary Fong Lightsphere Cloud diffuser.

(The camera body pictured here is not mine and I actually have the Lightsphere "Cloud". Displayed is the Lightsphere "Clear", to help you get the idea of how it works.)

That’s all for now. More to come in the very near future.
