I bought a new lens for my camera for my birthday. It arrived yesterday so today I spent some time taking shots of the boys this morning. I ended up using the shot of Calvin (above) for my weekly assignment in my photography class. It's supposed to look blurry in the background to draw attention to his face. I like the shot because it's rare to capture his "hint of a smile" look.
And I just really like this shot of Mason. I think it shows his personality quite nicely!
What lens is this? Looks good. you must be learning about bokeh. Love it!
ReplyDelete50mm f/1.8
ReplyDeleteActually, I'm not even sure how I would say what it is. Is that right?
Here's the link to it.

We're studying Aperture Priority. Next week, we go all manual (which I've never done). I'm not sure why, but I prefer the more hex shaped bokeh I got from my kit lens (on macro). I know there's debate over the preferred look. I'm sure my thoughts will change as I learn more!
