April fool. I was hacked.

Look like all is well. I can start working on 50mm Friday again. I owe you some.

My wordpress installation is broken, hacked on April 1st; I was able to recover fairly quickly, however, they did significant amount of damage by removing all of the files from my blog, so, all of my photos are missing. I’ll try to contact the web host to see if they can restore from a backup. We’ll see. If not, I’ll have to start over, or try to remember what I had already used for 50mm Friday

50mm Friday No. 11 – Matt Andersen

I’m not making any new content with a 50mm lens. Admittedly, this makes me feel a little guilty. The good thing, though, is every Friday I file through my archive of photos captured using the 50mm F1.8 II and occasionally find some stuff that doesn’t suck.
This is Matt Andersen playing at the Delta Ballroom during the 2011 East Coast Music Awards in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada.

A dip into the file archives from 2008 for today’s 50mm Friday. Captured on a fishing wharf in September, a wharf cat peers from within the maze of netting. Spectacular eyes.

On Friday night I volunteered at a benefit concert in Charlottetown. It’s another Friday where I didn’t provide a 50mm Friday photo. But, I did make this photo on a Friday using the 50mm.

So, it wins.

This is Donnie Bowers from Vintage 2.0 performing at the benefit dance for Shayna Conway, the Craswell Family, and Maclean Family.

“Your 50mm Friday Sucks”

“Your 50mm Friday Sucks” – SD

I know. A list of excuses:

A busy Christmas sidelined 50mm Friday. So busy I forgot.
The acquisition of an xBox and then Battlefield 3.
The XBOX is connected to my editing display, when necessary.
Back problems, I rarely carry my camera bag daily. Back is better now.

None of them, except for back issues, are really great reasons for sucking.

50mm Friday Dogs don’t need riders.

Today’s 50mm Friday was captured using the Canon 30D and 50mm 1.8 at F4, 1/125 of a second, ISO1600. The crop is significant, cropped from landscape to portrait to improve composition, then slightly cropped to make the subject larger.

I have included the landscape version, cropped to straighten only. Which do you prefer?
