The Obligatory Squirrel Test

o.O

You know it’s hard out here for a pimp (you ain’t knowin)
When he tryin to get this money for the rent (you ain’t knowin)
For the Cadillacs and gas money spent (you ain’t knowin)
Because a whole lot of bitches talkin shit (you ain’t knowin)

In my eyes I done seen some crazy thangs in the streets
Gotta couple hoes workin on the changes for me
But I gotta keep my game tight like Kobe on game night
Like takin from a ho don’t know no better, I know that ain’t right
Done seen people killed, done seen people deal
Done seen people live in poverty with no meals
It’s fucked up where I live, but that’s just how it is
It might be new to you, but it’s been like this for years
It’s blood sweat and tears when it come down to this shit
I’m tryin to get rich ‘fore I leave up out this bitch
I’m tryin to have thangs but it’s hard fo’ a pimp
But I’m prayin and I’m hopin to God I don’t slip, yeah

You know it’s hard out here for a pimp (you ain’t knowin)
When he tryin to get this money for the rent (you ain’t knowin)
For the Cadillacs and gas money spent (you ain’t knowin)
Will have a whole lot of bitches talkin shit (you ain’t knowin)

Man it seems like I’m duckin dodgin bullets everyday
Niggaz hatin on me cause I got, hoes on the tray
But I gotta stay paid, gotta stay above water
Couldn’t keep up with my hoes, that’s when shit got harder
North Memphis where I’m from, I’m 7th Street bound
Where niggaz all the time end up lost and never found
Man these girls think we prove thangs, leave a big head
They come hopin every night, they don’t end up bein dead
Wait I got a snow bunny, and a black girl too
You pay the right price and they’ll both do you
That’s the way the game goes, gotta keep it strictly pimpin
Gotta have my hustle tight, makin change off these women, yeah

Well, well, well… still not time on the pond with the lens. I got home and saw one of the usual suspects talking trash to the dogs from an overhead limb, so I ran in and grabbed the gear to snap a quick shot. Yes, I’m talking about “the obligatory squirrel test” shot. Right click here and “save target as...” to download a single 100% crop frame saved as a jpeg with zero sharpening. The grain is from shooting at a higher ISO and then saving in a lossful compression format, but I was in a hurry. Pretty sharp optics for shooting from across the yard up into a tree. I’d like to spend some more time with ISO100 creaminess and maybe play with the 1.4x and 2x TC’s a bit this weekend.... weather permitting, of course.

I watched Hustle and Flow last night on BluRay. Great flick. Every time I watch another BD, I feel like I can’t wait for some of my favorites to hit BluRay. I’ve been watching the list in anticipation.

That picture is soooo cool!  The detail is amazing.  I wish I could do stuff like that.

I think the 3rd flea from the squirrel’s right nostril is waiving at you.

That lens is awesome.  Now I can’t wait to see what the photos look like with the 2x TC!
