My first day with the 50mm
For an early Christmas present (and birthday) my wonderful wife bought me a Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 lens. I have wanted this lens for quite a while and I was pretty excited. Here are just a few shots from the first day of shooting with this lens (I took several hundred).
Right out of the box. This was shot with my iPhone and an instagram filter.
Then the real fun started. Parker and his baby blues.
Our dog Diesel.
Carson saying "CHEEEESE!"
It has now been two week since I received the lens and I love it. I love all the light that it can bring in with the aperture wide open and I love the shallow depth of field that can be achieved. The bokeh is soft and creamy.
I am still getting used to the fact that the focal length is fixed and I have to be a decent distance from my subject in order to get the shot. Even though it is a 50mm it acts like an 80mm on my 450D because of the 1.6 crop factor of the APS-C sensor. I can't wait for my first portrait shoot with this lens.

He's a pilot...
He's a cowboy...
He's a farm boy...
He's a senior in high school (well he was, now he's a freshman in college)...
Zack's Baptism Shoot
I did this shoot last summer for my nephew who had just turned 8 and was getting ready to be baptized.
And this bee on a flower....
