About
Simply put, this is Ramin Miraftabi's photoblog. It is an offshoot of my main (in English) blog, randomfire.
I decided to start photoblogging to better challenge myself photographically. We've been publishing a daily photoblog of dog pictures (The Life of Jalo) since September 2004 but I wanted to branch out a bit. Originally I tried to adhere to the picture-a-day approach, but that didn't work. Partly because some days I ran out of time and other days I had good images left over. So now my goal is just to publish a new picture every day. It'll also let me play around a bit more with post-processing, which LoJ doesn't really do.

this is soooo cool! did someone throw this away? i love the picture where the bear is peeking over the edge! :D

Yeah, way cool. 70-200 f/4L gives a nice bokeh at 200mm. I am still uncertain whether to pull trigger on that lens or not … aaargh indecisions. :-)

@bear: It definitely wasn’t thrown away. One of the shooters at the hunt test owns it, and like any other kuksa it’s a prized possession.
@Ville: It’s a good lens, and cheap for it’s value. Although our Sigma 150 f/2.8 gives even better bokeh, it’s use is severely limited in comparison. The 70-200 is my walkaround lens :)
