George Here!
There are many choices in our photographic/videographic career that we have to make. Should I splurge and get the better body, or get a less expensive body and invest in some lenses? Should I shoot at this angle at that F stop or in that angle in this F stop? In my case, I have the hardest decision ever made by a photographer... Black & White... or Color?
Okay okay... not seriously that important, but it is an interesting question. Last week I went to Arizona and took some great landscape photos. And for some of the photos, I made them B&W and made others color. But my problem is, I cannot choose between the B&W or the color version of the same photo. Take a look at this compressed landscape shot:
While I'm here, I'd like to share this photo that I have the same problem with:

My New Favorite Lens
Hey guys... Sorry it's been so long since my previous post. I've been busy with multiple things, some in the film world, some not. And you'll get to hear about those events in the posts following. But right now I want to talk about my what I might call... my new favorite lens. My Canon FD 24mm f/2.8.
Since I shoot on a Crop-Sensored camera, it's harder to get a wider shot. This lens isn't particularly wide on a crop. But at 38.4mm after the crop, it's wider than my new second favorite lens, Canon FD 50mm f/1.4, which equates to about 80mm on a crop. So it is a little bit wider, and that opens up things I could shoot vastly. I can be in tighter quarters and get a more pleasing shot, and since it's a wider lens, it a lot easier to manually focus.
This shot is amazing. And currently, I could have only gotten it with that lens.
That's it for now. I'll try to update the blog more often and get you guys more current media to enjoy. This is George saying, ¡Adios!
