or a weekend, actually... we stayed overnight in ocean city by the graciousness of our host for saturday's vendor holiday party through my husband's job. so basically that meant my husband hobnobbed with his colleagues while i chased our son around the hotel... taking pictures of him, of course!our hotel room on the 15th floor looked partially eastward so i was able to snap some shots of the sunrise, and later on we went out to the city's near-deserted boardwalk in the bright, biting cold air ("i don't want to be outside. i want to be inside," my son said. everything here is with the 50 mm 1.8, of course (except for the water close-ups; those are from the 70-200 4-5.6 sigma i have)... it's giving me wonderful practice in shooting in manual exposure mode again, as well as forcing me to be more creative with composition since i can't zoom in or out. o, how i long for the 28-75 sigma lens i have on my list... oh, and the full-frame 5D that would give me the width i would have loved to have for some of these shots...! someday, soon...
