F2.8 lens and Cranberry Raisin Bread

Hi All - Erik here. For the last few weeks I have been playing around with our camera and the new lens we got for Christmas from my folks. It is a Tamron f2.8 17-50 zoom. It took all of two shots that first day to make me say, "WOW!" It is so much better than the kit lens we had.

Bread making seemed a good opportunity to test it out. And blogging about it here seemed a good opportunity to dote on my awesome honey! You see, the woman whom I love, who I might have found disheartened and dismayed in our apartment's galley kitchen fanning smoke and dialing for pizza way back when we were first married has gotten all domestic on me!

My photos won't make it into a cook book *yet*, but this Cranberry Raisin Bread sure should!

Notice the shallow depth of field! Oooh and Aaah you camera buffs.


Don't you wish you could smell it? I have to work on my staging. There is a bit too much clutter in the background, but the bokeh corrects so many wrongs.

Mmmmmmm... Toasted with a spread of melted butter. There is nothing better, except the person who made it! ;)
