I was inspired by
JuliaGotz to go out and buy another lens. She uses a super fast Canon lens and a lot of talent to capture some of the most amazing candids.
So I went out today and purchased a lens ALMOST as fast as hers to see if it would help push my photos to the next level.
Well, the lens is GREAT but it is going to take some time to get use to. At 1.8 f-stop the depth of field is so small that I will have to learn to focus more carefully.
Here are the first pictures taken with the new lens. Obviously I went for the subjects that were close at hand...but I think the results are pretty good. I really like the first photo a lot. I love the way the shallow depth of field makes Zoe's eyes look.
Someday I too will take photos as amazing as Julia's!
