brandon says:: @hilmterry you only need as such as will fit under 1 fingernail. Then spread it on your two index fingers and rub your index fingers and thumbs together to warm. Then apply center out, using as few strokes as possible - and then let it set for a minute before you touch it again. You'll get the hang of it.

Dschonn says:: You're looking kind of two-tone.

I've never used wax on myself. One time a guy at a haberdashery in St. Paul put some wax on the tips of my handlebar, pulling the hair and shaping the curls. It was rather awkward. I figure my moustache curls naturally anyway, so what do I need wax for?

hankbobs says:: actually, without light, there would be no light. Right. I mean, you're without it, right? When I'm without peanut butter, I usually have bread.. otherwise, I would not be frustrated

Ace says:: the new lens is working out nicely for you already i see.

brandon says:: thanks guys!

@mattyc I overexposed it in camera at F1.4, so a really shallow DOF that threw most of my skin just slightly out of focus and blown out. Then I pumped up the blacks and contrast levels just a bit.

@ace and @yourfavorite Yeah, this is the new lens. Still learning its nuances but so far I like it. A lot.
