This magazine is also highly acclaimed for, bringing you the top demonstrations and how to's on getting professional looking work from the world's leading photographers!!

A few weeks ago I read that they were excepting submissions. Being wishful I submitted my work to the "L.I. Mag" I got an email back stating they admired my work, followed by another email with a gallery agreement. Long story short, they ended up choosing my image for the Closing Shot!!! Super Excited!!! 

"Before and After"

If you ever wondered if my photos were rendered or not, the answer is "Yes" Typically after a photo shoot is done I do whats called "Fishing" I spend roughly an hour fishing through the photos, looking for what is usable, and discarding the ones that are not. After that process is done I then look for the absolute best photos out of the batch, and those are the photos that make it to the rendering process!!!! The amount of rendering varies, sometime the work is extensive and other times it can be something as simple as adding a little contrast and brightening up a photo!!! Anyway enough blabbering on, here are some before and after photos of my work!!!

Rokinon 24mm F1.4 Prime

 I just acquired the #Rokinon 24mm F1.4 lens, this my 3rd Rokinon Lens, and I must say I am pretty excited about it!  Over the past year or so I have become a fan of the Rokinon brand. I first came across the Company after reading a post on the #Cheesycam.com blog. I was curious enough to take a chance, and I am glad I did. After being surprisingly pleased with the #Rokinon14mm2.8, I dove head first on the #R85mm1.4. Absolutely loving the performance of these two lenses I felt it was only right to purchase the #R24mm1.4. I always wanted to own a 24mm #Prime, but the #Canon equivalent is $1,550, That was way out of of my price range. Emm the founder of Cheesycam posted the R24mm1.4 originally priced at $800 for a limited time it was on sale for $500. I couldn't believe it I just had to buy this lens!!! Although these are manually focused lenses for the price point and the sheer quality you can not go wrong!!

Pros: Fast, Sharp, Creamy Bokeh, Wide, Solid Build, Superb Image Quality

As for now I do not have any Cons but if I do I will update this post!!

Here are a few images shot with this lens fresh out of the camera!! 

Fresh out of the box!
