Friday night, I was in Central Park shooting this race, when I passed by the croquet garden near Sheep’s Meadow. There was this dude out there playing all by himself. Just practicing his shot, I guess. Anyway, I stopped and talked to him for a while (after sneaking a few shots of him). It turns out that the Parks Dept. gives out permits to play croquet on the lawn there. Apparently there is also a New York City Croquet club. Needless to say, I was pretty stoked to learn about that. Monday nights, the club hosts the garden for public entry. From what the guy said, they give lessons and everything.
Oh yeah, I got a new lense this week. It is a 30mm f/1.4. I used it pretty much all evening. I love it. One more shot of the croquet garden:

dude, i never mentioned to you that I also recently purchased the 40d. I’m really digging the vignette effect of this lens – might have to go pick one up myself. Right now I only have the one that came in the kit 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6. happy shooting
