Christmas in July…
OK. Not July… Actually more like late February, but it DID sound better saying that.
It must be a line from a movie, or something, no? I swear that I’ve heard that phrase before.
Anyway, I happened to spy these lights near the end of February. I thought they looked at least marginally cool / interesting.
Canon 20D: Canon EF 70-200L @ 163mm, F/4, 1/60 sec (and still tack sharp at 1:1 despite being handheld), ISO 400PS. See my reflection a little bit?

Nice one man. I just got the 70-200 f/4 IS. I cannot believe how tack sharp this lens is … it’s scary.
By the way, good luck with MCAT studying. I know how that goes.
you mean that little shadow next to the white part on the orange bulb?
I like it. I know it’s not as easy as it seems to take this shot with this quality!
Wow!! Good guess!!!
yup.
30D + 50mm f/1.8 II.
“Christmas in August” is one of my favorite love story movies.
If you and Uta are into bittersweet romance stuff, you might want to check it out.
Any Korean dvd rental place on El Camino should have it.
