I am in love with both my lenses, the 70-200 and the 28mm, and I like to use them both. The result are quite different, the feeling of the photos are quite different. While the 28mm is a cheap lens, very slow in auto focus, the other one is fast and precise. The prism in the 40D is not very good for manual focus, so using the 28mm after having used the 70-200 is like riding in a normal car after having driven a Ferrari.
Shooting in the middle of a crowd with a long lens, as I have done this Sunday, it not always simple. Sometimes the clear shot you would like to achieve is impossible, and you have to accept the photo with its limitations.
In this shot I was hit by this guy, by his expression and his look… and his fantastic t-shirt of course! He saw me probably at the same time I saw him (I was quite visible), but between us there was someone. I framed him and waited, knowing where he was just because he couldn’t have gone anywhere else. Then, when we were really close, the person behind us moved away and I took some shots. This was the best, the one without many distractions.
