Continuing on street photography journey this week. I was using my Rokinon 85mm manual lens. It was definitely a challenge to nail focus with this lens especially shooting at f/1.4. It's still a learning process for me.

My first 4th of July in Tahoe! I had a great time shooting the fireworks and playing with sparklers. : ) Realized the lake is drying up though with the long rocky beach at Commons, that used to be under water. : (

Fireworks: Lens: EF-S18 -135mm | 1.0 sec; f/3.5; ISO 200

Sparkelers: Lens: EF-S18 -135mm | 2.3 sec; f/3.5; ISO 200

Sry, couldn't resist posting some of my favorites.
