Daddy and The Little Gym

So here is a test image from the rental lens, the Canon 85mm 1.2 for you techies out there. I don't have a lens like this at this point because most of my work has been architectural in nature and I need wider angles and deeper depths of field. I love the how nicely the background blurs out, this was shot at f2.8 so I still had some play with the lens, the focus was speedy and spot on, but the prime (the fact that it isn't a 'zoom' lens) bothered me personally. I think I'll be trying out the 70-200 2.8 before I make any purchases.

On to the cute factor...we LOVE The Little Gym! I did a trial class there and sent Bob to a trial class at another gym in our area before we signed a membership. Bob came home talking about how the parents just stood around talking the whole time holding their babies. Not here! It is all about the children, though the parents do talk and become friends of course. We have Sophie doing forward rolls and walking on a balance beam, and she loves seeing all the other babies. Daddy came this time and Sophie loved spending the time with him. I got some great shots for the photo album, but I was kinda jealous that they were having such a good time without me :)
