© 2015 Thousand Word Images by Dustin Abbott

My next review will take a deep look at the brand new Samyang 135mm f/2 ED UMC lens - a lens that is optically amongst the best that I have used. It is incredibly sharp and full of rich contrast wide open, but is a bit of challenge to focus. This second dog related image today is on the opposite end of the spectrum. This Lab was being trained for duck season, and it didn't matter one bit that the water was still littered with ice. He gleefully extended and dove into the water. I watched he and his trainer for a few minutes. Although I used a manual focus only lens here, I simply prefocused on where I predicted the animal to go...and I got a great, sharp picture at f/2.8. A high shutter speed made sure to freeze every drop of water in the air.

Technical info: Canon EOS 6D, Samyang 135mm f/2 ED UMC, Processed in Adobe Lightroom 5, Adobe Photoshop CC, Alien Skin Exposure 7 (use code "dustinabbott" to get a 10% discount)
