So how bout that! I got myself a 50mm prime lens with a 1.8 aperture, and I'll tell you what, it's going to be a while before I can make myself switch out of f/1.8! Such a new experience that I'm addicted for now. I'll admit the effect is a little exteme, but it's a new effect so it's fresh. This was shot in manual mode, which is also something new for me from my workshop a few weeks ago. I'm happy with the overall lighting and effect.
Glad you got the lens. It is so fun to see what that 1.8 allows you to do creatively with your images. I'm with you on the 70-200 2.8 lens but in the mean time, the 50mm prime lens is a wonderful addition. Enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteLove all three images. The top one is beautiful and with the angle you took it, you can still tell that it's a cactus flower - very cool. The bottom one reminds me of a caleidescope a little.
