Fine Detail

I am just loving this lens I bought last week. My 50mm fixed lens can go wide open to f1.8 (which is huge compared to all my other lenses). Since I put it on my camera almost a week ago, it hasn't been removed. It has been so much fun to compare different f stops.

Here are two pictures I took of my daughter out front yesterday early evening. I love the fact that it is so detailed that I could capture her whisps of hair in front of her face with her face being slightly softened. I also love that in the second one I could focus on one eyelash and have everything else about her go a little softer. It is so great to experiment with this lens! I already think it was well worth the $80.
