It's been really cold lately. As low as -13°C. In my untreated attic where the track is, that's way too cold to do any racing. So I wrapped up the last race and have taken a little time off to sort other things out in my life.
One of the things was dealing with my camera. I don't know if you've noticed, but photos here have gotten a little repetitious and, well, different. My main 18-55 lens croaked on me, and all I had to use was my Nifty Fifty, which is a great little lens, but I need a lot of room to use it. So I'm picking up one of these pancake 24mm prime lenses. It should be a nice daily lens and give me room to get good shots without having to be so far back. Plus I'll be in an apartment soon, so I'll need to be doing things at closer ranges. And you really can't get very much track in a shot with a 50mm lens like you could with a 24mm. You also can't do anything remotely resembling macro with a 50mm. You can get in pretty tight with the 24mm, which I'm looking forward to.
I also got some much needed RAM for my computer. It had been a long time coming. It was taking forever to edit pictures, and doing things like this blog was slow as well.
Later that week....
So I got the lens and it's really great! It's doing everything I was hoping it would do and takes some great pictures.

Anyhow, glad to have it and it's going to be much easier to use for updating and maybe even some video stuff. It also handles video really well.
