I got a new lens, and I really like this picture, which is why it's a stand alone post

Some studio photography

Here are just a couple shots from a recent studio shoot.

This was a neat experience because my wife was one of the models and I went primarily to shoot a couple of pictures for her portfolio. However, two minutes before the show started, my wife hustled out of the back-stage to tell me that the photographer didn't show up and asked if I would cover the whole event. I had 120 seconds to find out where to shoot from, what angles were going to work and so forth. It was really cool and here are some of the results.
