Ben, I don't think you can just swing by Home Depot and pick up some class!!! But much like the tin man, you already have it in spades...save your money for a new lens!

A local biz will be bringing us some flower arrangements to shoot! I'll ask you guys to take one of her cards and be in touch so she can get the images.
