Sony Alpha 24-70mm F2.8 ZA SSM Carl Zeiss Lens

Another exciting moment I had in Belfast was the fact that I had my NEW GLASS collected there at CALUMET.. Oh man this new glass is fantastic, it's razor sharp! and of course I love the bokeh it's producing! So brilliant! Though it's heavy but what do you expect with a tank built technology ey?! Maybe I'm just used to my prime SAL 50mm F1.4 lens and my Sigma 28mm F1.8 lens that's why :D But so far, this is a really great zoom lens, NO contest! :)

Here's a peek...













Here's some few samples taken with my new glass:

Camera used: DSLR Sony Alpha 700
Settings: AWB, No flash, ISO used ranges from 100-400, Focal lenght and Aperture varied

NO color correction, just straight capture!, resized in photoshop!

The JAPS food

It's been since last weekend after WE had a walk when our friend LISA mentioned on the Japanese food particularly SUSHI. So, yesterday it happened! They came over to our place and the women prepared some sushi. It's a combination of RiCE, smoked salmon, mango, and cucumber rolled and wrapped with some dried seaweeds (locally found in Tesco?). Anyhow, they're lovely! Yummy! I know, here in Ireland Japs food is not popular but it is back home (Philippines)..Together with the sushi, they also decided to add SHRiMP TEMPURA and we dip them into a kikoman soy sauce and the infamous WASABI (green hot stuff that would sting your tongue!).

Here's some shots...
