Ha! Take that WR Lenses!

Here I was thinking I was going to have to spend a billion bucks on a 28-105 WR lens... when I forgot I was actually a level GENIUS and thus spent $15 and came up with this!

Perfect for our Aussie climate too! Shooting in the shade aw yeah!

I didn't realise Monovember was also a thing. Mine was Movember, there's a difference! Maybe I should B&W it... get best of both worlds

'Mo'vember (as opposed to 'Mono'vember) means 'grow a moustache' in November!

Quite a popular thing to do here in Australia. Some workplaces do it as a team thing for charity hehe.

I knew you Ozzie's were weird! This makes it the absolute truth for sure. LOL

Same holds true here in Canada, although now that politicians have been spotted with month long facial growths, I think interest is on the wane. I can't show you my Movember stashe because whiskers won't grow above my mouth, just below and to the sides.

I needed a suitable photo of myself to get business cards printed, so instead of going to a Wal-mart for a studio package I decided on a DIY solution instead. My wife didn't have time to assist me while I experimented with different setups at home, so I was left to my own devices. The shot below was taken with a single on-camera flash, no modifiers with the camera on a tripod set to a 12 secnd delay. I was seated two feet away from the wall and after several autofocus failures, I set my camera to manual focus. A little photo-editing to remove a shadow on the wall, lighten up my left side and remove a couple of points of bright light on the frame of my eyeglasses.
