New Lens Day III - a photo on Flickriver

New Lens Day III

            Everyone knows how great it feels to go out and get a new piece of glass.

Here is my girlfriend, assistant, model, and dishwasher-extraordinaire.  

We set off to get some fresh images for her website and what better than with a new L Series lens.  

We set up near the lake near the end of the session and stopped for some water. We rested for a few minutes on the stone ledges, still radiating heat from the day's sun. 

While we sat, a damselfly decided to have a rest of their own and perched on Tashia's outreached hand. 

The more I see them, the more I am impressed by their willingness to interact with people. We fired off quite a few shots all while re-positioning, recomposing, and admiring nature in action.  

All in all, I am very happy with the new purchase.  I wanted to get a replacement for my 50mm, which has been my default portrait lens, and I think this shot shows that I am happy with it.
