nifty-fifty







I played with my new lens (50mm f/1.8) today for the first time today and I AM IN LOVE!  Now, I definitely need to explore to figure out how to nail the focus with such a small focal length, but will you take a look at that bokeh!?

I'm used to shooting with no wider than a f/5.0 and I was exploring with a f/2.0 today, which means that much less of the picture is in focus.  If you notice the bottom picture, I was trying to get the focus on the eyes, but it landed on the nose (with a moving baby, it'll take some practice to nail).  The picture is still totally adorable, it's just different than I was trying to capture.  Look how creamy it looks, look at her little mouth!  Her eye color is spot on, and her little hair...ahh!

I CAN'T wait to play more tomorrow! Nate has Regions with Ultimate this weekend, so I got a babysitter so I can take myself on a date with my camera.  I'm thrilled about it!  4:00pm tomorrow can't come fast enough.
