I've been a little busy editing senior portraits and finishing up a wedding, so I haven't had much time to get out and shoot.

So I grabbed the camera as I played fetch with the dogs. Tried out the tracking with moving subjects, etc.

This was one of my favorite shots. I'm plenty impressed with how creamy the background gets haha

I agree with everything said, but can't help thinking that had you rotated the camera 90 degrees you would have gotten all of the ears.

Yeah, I agree. Technically not the best, just testing out the sharpness and seeing how much BG I can blow out.

Yes, the background defocus of that lens looks very pretty to me. I've looked at maybe 200 test images from it; the background blur's character is one of the lens's strongest suits.
