Nifty Fifty (Actually almost eight year old Maggie)
Actually, she isn't - and neither am I!
I finally bought the new lens. I have been toying with the idea after seeing the shots on here that a lot of you are doing. I was having so much fun last week that I lost a lens cap. When I finally stopped to order one I made the plunge for a mere $104 dollars. So I put it on the camera and didn't even get Maggie to pose. I love the clarity and it is all it is cracked up to be in low light as it is really overcast here today.
@gerry Thanks Gerry. I can never miss with her as a subject. @yonnie It is light as a feather. I thought the box was empty when it arrived. I think I'm going to really like it once I give it a try.
Yes ... beautiful clarity and lighting, Cathy. Love the focus on him .. it's perfect. Did you get a primary (fixed) lens or one with some range. Does it go from f/1.8mm- ?? I never know if I'd like a primary lens with no range or would like one. Tell me more if you have time!
To buy a nifty fifty is on my list of things to do this week, I tried to last week, completed my order on line and it finished up in cyber space never to be seen again. I love this picture extremely sharp and Maggie looks beautiful.
I also admire these good shots, however my camera doesn't have interchangeable lens so I have to take dozens of shots in different light and almost always use a tripod. I can see the clarity and depth here with Maggies face! Try it on a persons face!
@karenann Is is a primary fixed. It is time I learned to do this. I have a wide angle, telephoto and macro in my bag and switch often. I really want to have a basic lens for indoors in low light that I can just grab. So far I am really happy for the comparably small amount of money.
Have you bought a 50mm lens Cathy as I have been toying with getting one of those as my first extra lens? Lovely portrait of Maggie & enjoy your new lens!
You will hardly ever have this lens off the camera Cathy, I love mine! For low light and wow dof and bokeh shots it is just brilliant! Love Maggie's expression here, what a handsome pooch!
