Even though the calendar says it’s mid-November, the weather here in San Jose has been gorgeous — sunny and 78°F — so we decided to meet up with some friends for lunch and an afternoon in the park. Their daughter Erin is extremely kawaii and very photogenic, as long as you have a fast-focusing lens and a high-enough shutter speed; without those photos of her are a blur.

Erin’s dad Ian took his new 50D with a Canon 17-55/2.8 lens, while I brought my Sigma 50-150/2.8.  With basically non-overlapping focal ranges and different shooting styles, we ended up with very different photos.  Here are some of my favorites:
