Isaac's cool blogIt seems like there are always a couple of tug boats hanging around at Fells Point in Baltimore. I took this with a Yashinon 35/2.8 that I also got at Hampden Junque. I think it’s pretty similar to my 35/3.5 Super-Takumar, but the wider max aperture makes for easier focusing and nicer bokeh. I don’t like the feel of Yashinon lenses much – the focus and aperture grips on Super-Takumar lenses are hard to beat.
I found a sweet 135/2.8 Vivitar lens at Hampden Junque in Baltimore last weekend. I haven’t taken a lot of photos with it yet, but it looks like it worked fine on these maple leaves.
There are quite a few of these old fire alarm boxes around town. I don’t think any of them do anything anymore, but most that I’ve seen look like they’re painted now and then.
With all of the tourists in town for the cherry blossoms, it’s a great time for taking pictures of people taking pictures. In my walk around the Tidal Basin I was asked to take two photos, which seems like a lot for a guy wearing a baseball cap and glasses.
More cherry blossoms! Because, why not?
