Happy New Year Chris and everyone else around the world!
Hi Chris,
Maybe I’ve just not had enough sleep, but is that the outline of a shamrock I see in those suds??
Happy New Year everybody!
Thank you so much for switching your feed! It always took so long for my iTunes to download the show, now I can get my TFTTF fix in a matter of seconds!
Love the podcast, keep up the good work and a happy new year to all the TFTTers!
Wow, now that is some SERIOUSLY shallow DOF on that beer. What was that, 1.8 on the 50 mm? Dark and moody as well.
The proper way to poor a Guinness is to have the Top-off end in a shamrock shape so the image stays in the head. Makes it taste better
Nice shot of the pint of guiness, thanks for a wonderful -06 and hope the -07 will be a treat!
I also know how it´s to run your own business in the photobranch, so i sometimes wonder how you manage these podcast and all the other things.
Tank´s again Chris!
I´ll be listening.
