Learning and Playing with the Canon EOS 5D Mark II

EF85mm f/1.2L II USM on Canon EOS 5D Mark II and Canon RC-1 remote

Last shot before bed...1/80 sec at f/1.4 85mm ISO 1000 ambient. First attempt was with the "face recognition" via Live View, not much luck doing a selfie (back to the RTFM), switched to AF and the Canon RC-1 remote with better results. Did not quite catch my eyes spot on, but at f/1.4 happy with the results
