While holidaying in Washington DC, it was natural to catch up with Kirsten, who’s currently in Baltimore. We had an afternoon, which we spent at the Natural History Museum. It was probably the (personal) highlight of the trip, as it’s always nice to catch up with friends, especially now that they’re strewn around the world. This photo is quasi-posed. I was trying to take stalker photos, but failed, probably because of the 50mm lens. The large aperture only really gets Melissa (and even the far side of her face is out of focus), which gives quite a pleasing effect, as in these two wedding photos. But my lens is quite faster than the one from the wedding, so the effect is far more pronounced.

Canon EOS 70D, Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens, 1/320 second @ f/1.8, ISO 2000.

So, my thesis is going to be submitted on the first of May. That gives me approximately 2.5 months to write the thing. As such, starting tomorrow, I will be entering a “thesis cave”. I will leave it only for special occasions (such as an L series lens), and be much more off-the-grid than I normally am.

So see you all in May.
