I think this must be the oldest bench in a park. It gained a lot of friends in time...
I am looking around my neighborhood for some objects I can photograph with my new lens to get a hang of it so I came across this texture while taking my gear out of a bag. Not very typical scene for me, I wonder what you think....

I might have tried taking the picture at an angle, get DOF blur with focus on the bolt head.

@byrdlip, Thank you.Good idea. I guess I will have to go back there... I wanted to see if I can get it all even with this lens- but not really....

@cherrymartina As a "what can I do with the lens" photo, it is wonderful. I guess my question is, and I don't always answer it in some of mine, is what are you trying to draw attention to. Digital is wonderful as you can shoot away without much, if any, cost.

@byrdlip I tend to avoid answering a question “what I want to show” cause i get caried away... right now I want to know what is this litle prime 50 mm showing me...but i need to start askind myself a big question more often.... As long as we have fun!!! Thanks for advice

love the detailed textures, composition and closeup

Very nice texture. I bought my 50mm some years ago but didn't like it very much on APSC sensor. But now, paired with a FF camera, it's the opposite.

Love the texture..............enjoy your new lens!

[Taffy]

Love this closeup -- looks like a button waiting to be pushed!

[wendy frost]

Great capture and details.

[Kathryn]

Nice detail of everyday thing.

[Issi Bannerman]

@cruiser @spectrum @radiogirl @taffy @wendyfrost @houser934 @jamibann, Thank you for comments. I will keep on exploring.

[Martina]

@spectrum, Thank you Massimo for comment. It is great to hear about your experience with a lens. I will have to find a way to like it since I don't think I will ever be able to upgrade on FF. The good news is I already like some things about it...

Lovely textures, I'm still coming to grips with my 50mm lens.

I have a 35mm lens for my Sony 6300. I find I have problems finding the point of focus. If I have any complaint about this photo that would be it. I'm not really sure what is the subject because not specific is in focus. I do love the patterns and textures you have captured though.
