a new lens

Saturday, December 03, 2011

Joey and I bought our Christmas present today. If you have a fairly nice DSLR and the stock lens it came with, you're probably mostly satisfied with the quality of your camera. If, however, you want to be thoroughly satisfied with the sharp focus/blurry backgrounds that are all the rage right now, if you would like to take clear pictures of your squirmy babies in low-ish lighting without using the flash, and if you don't have loads of money to throw into a fandancy new zoom lens...

THEN.

You need to get yourself a nice 50mm f/1.8G lens. It is probably the most affordable lens out there, and it produces STUNNING photos. We have owned ours for about eight hours. I am already in love with it. The above photo was taken at 7:00 PM - a time with lighting that made it nearly impossible to get a good photograph with our stock lens.

But just look at that! And I don't even know what I'm doing yet!  

Hoooo boy. This is going to be fun. :)
