very much depends on the type of pic. A lightroom self developed preset with a few minor adjustments (spot removal etc) then less than 3 mins per pic.
Headshot with full beauty retouch (manual - no plugins) in PS.... maybe 45 mins

Was actually my 24-105L but yeah what the hell is a Catadioptric/Diffractive lens?A what now? It's just a 50mm on a full frame body hence the wicked bokeh

Catadioprtic is a mirror lens- basically a mirror at the back, reflects lights back to the front of the lens onto a secondary mirror, which sits in the middle of the glass at the front (or held in place by stalks on a telescope), which then reflects it out the back of the lens. Due to the central obstruction you get doughnut-shaped bokeh. I've got a 500mm cat somewhere, I'll dig it out and take some shots.
Diffractive lenses use non-spherical concentric elements to diffract light, the advantage being a much shorter lens body compared to equivalent conventional lenses. Again, you get slightly strange bokeh with concentric circles. The Canon EF 70–300 mm f/4.5–5.6 DO IS USM is a diffractive lens.
Some fun indoors with all the rain going on!

Favourite mug+ 40D + 50mm f/1.4 @ 1.4
omg yo stole it from me
Got some new lights and a beauty dish so had a little play around. Only using the dish here but looking forward to getting kickers etc involved too and getting better at the PP for it. Dead happy for a first real bash at it though!
Recently picked up a 5D and been giving it a real workout over the past couple of weeks. Absolutely love it! Some of my recent favourites:
