Sooo… I got a new camera earlier this month.  To explain more about it, I thought I try something new and post a video.  I must warn you though… I look pretty horrible in the video (no, really… I look pretty bad), and I think I say “you know” at least 600 times throughout.  Not to mention the still capture on the video is me in the middle of me speaking.  Gahhh.  It’s my first video… so give me a break will ya?

Wanna give a special thanks to my buddy Sam “the Sauce” Hassass who showed me how to snag one of these when they were almost impossible to find. Check out his blog, dude’s literally the most creative  wedding photographer on the planet.

For some reason vimeo only allows 500MB files, so I had to downgrade the video a bit.  Ironically, this video was also 900 MB long because it was twice as long as the first one I tried to record.

Looks like the Holidays came early for me this year 😀   I’ve used the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 IS for a few weddings, and I instantly fell in love with it.  The lens is perfect for portraits and telephoto work.  The lens weighs about 4lbs alone… and it’s a real drag during those long weddings.  However, the images this puppy produces is well worth the extra weight.  This year, I finally decided to splurge and get this wonderful lens for myself.  I am super excited, and can’t wait to test it out at the next wedding this coming week.

From everyone here at Limon Photography, I would like to wish everyone a safe and happy Holiday!

** A Short note:
A friend recently asked me whether I was going to keep this blog strictly business oriented, or if I was going to share any personal images to share with the world. After thinking it through for a few days, I decided that I should share any image I find worthy to showcase to my audiences and prospective clients. I LOVE photography… and I feel that you, the reader, should join me on my journey, and see what I love to capture as well. Therefore, from now on, I will continue to have posts related to weddings, portraits, and events… but will also post other images just to keep things fresh and and give a new perspective.  Oh, and don’t worry… I promise I won’t just post random shots of my cat 😛

Onward to the post….

Ever get bored? Ever get so bored, that you just want to do something… anything? Well, often times, I find myself in that very same situation. To cure this “boredom”, some of my friends devised the perfect plan: Random Road Trip. A few of my close buddies, my brother, and I decided that it would be fun to do something we all loved doing… playing soccer on the beach. However, we decided this at 1 am. Just to be spontaneous, (and since we had nothing better to do) we headed to the beach in the middle of the night… 3 hours away. Figuring I could get some pictures out of it, I took my camera and a few lenses, and we headed off. We arrived there just in time for the sunrise, played soccer for a few hours, had breakfast, soaked up the sun and admired the view, and headed back home before supper time. Ahhhh… the joy of being young and spontaneous.
