Capturing Details with my 50mm

I’ve been looking for a new lens for quite some time but the price of many where just more than I wanted to spend especially since I was not sure what kind of photos I wanted to take. As time went on, I continued to shoot with my kit lenses both of which I am very happy with. The only frustration I had was shooting in low light conditions. Either my photos were too dark or the auto flash would wash out everyone not to mention burn everyone’s retinas! Oh I tried all the tips and tricks to try to control the flash but still had no good results.

It wasn’t until my daughter pointed out the “no flash” function on my camera that I started shooting in low light situations with more success and saving retinas. (How I missed that function, I’ll never know! LOL) Still not happy with my low light pictures, I started looking into lenses and came across this website that convinced me to take the plunge.

When we first put that 50mm on our cameras our eyes nearly fell out of our heads, because wowza, we didn’t know our cameras could take such great photos, right?

It’s true, the 50mm is a favorite among most. It’s probably my favorite, with a close running with the 35mm. And it’s a favorite for good reason. One can get a lot of miles out of the 50mm, because it’s crazy versatile.

I shopped around online and learned the 50mm was not completely out of my price range. Prices ranged anywhere from $150 down to $80. Good thing Christmas was coming up because I wrote 50mm lens right smack at the top of my Christmas list! Thanks to our kids (grown adults now but I still call them kids), I now have a 50mm! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! XOXO
