I get to shoot another wedding in the next month or so, which means it gives me an excuse to buy a new lens. I’m looking at the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM lens. It would be my first zoom lens as I currently only have Prime Lenses.
On other news I’ve recently bought into the Avid Technology owned Digidesign Mbox 2 family with Pro Tools LE 8. It is fun to play with all the soft synths, and my keyboard controller the M-Audio Axiom Pro 49 just rocks with it. The main reason I bought into Pro Tools is so that I could have clean audio vocal recordings for when I make audio books for my nephews out of children books. Also it is nice to have an industry standard audio application that has a clear upgrade path for such things as 7.1 surround sound mixing for future endeavors.
Avid is one of my favorite companies for Pro level applications. I originally started out with them with Avid Xpress Pro which is now discontinued. Their flagship Editing software Media Composer dropped in price which made Xpress Pro not a viable option. Plus, Media Composer is so much more powerful and feature rich that it was a good move on Avid’s part to drop Xpress Pro.
