Little Golden Frog..

On a sunny afternoon, I walked the riverside. Looking for a good thing to be photographed ..

After quite a while photographing the river, I'm taking a break in the rocks there on the riverbank.

And it turns out I actually find that quite beautiful animals to be photographed. the golden frog (of course only the color that I mean, lol). and unique frog is very friendly, because I was able to shoot at MFD of my lens (EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM) which is about 38cm @ 70mm without making it out of me.

So, I very freely take pictures ..
Here's some photos ...

ok back to the title of this entry, when I started too late with all my busyness, I decided to refreshing for a moment.
even though I visit this place I've been through, I try to visit on foot.
and in fact quite a lot of new things also obtained ..

And here it is some pictures that I took..

The Legendary Lens, EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM

On Thursday, 14 January 2011 I recently bought a new lens.

And my choice is Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM .

I bought this lens about $1,340 ( Rp 12.150.000,- ) .

Previously, I've seen a lot of reviews about this lens. And the overall result said "This is an excellent lens".

And it's true!

This lens is totally excellent in sharpness, build quality, speed, aperture and others.

So, I can say this lens is THE BEST CANON STANDARD ZOOM LENS avalaible.

And the good news are.....this lens is mine! hahahaa :p

What a beautiful lens, isn't it? :)

And these are some pictures when I tried this superior lens for the first time ..
