Susan and I spent a beautiful weekend in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains celebrating the wedding of two close friends – Bram and Martha. The pics are on Flickr as always.

While the highlight of the weekend was watching two friends say “I do”, I also got a kick out of some photography fun. Jack Looney, the professional photographer at the wedding, was kind enough to offer some tips as well as the use of one of his lenses. I took a few shots with his Canon 50mm L f/1.2. Think of it as the jet boat of camera lenses. All of my shots suffer a bit from low light (some suffer a lot) but the ones taken with the f/1.2 are remarkably sharper. What a fun lens.
