Learning my way around a 50mm

After working too hard for too many months Management finally talked me into treating myself to a present, a Canon EF 50mm 1.4. I’m finding it a challenge working with a prime lens in that it requires more legwork to set up a composition. The depth of field is awkward for me in that where I think I have the right focal point via the viewfinder only to find out I missed the mark and ended up with something less than eye pleasing. That said I love being able to shoot in low light conditions without relying on the flash for every shot, however, I am now even more hungry for a 430EX as I think that it would work really well with this lens.

This little guy has more expressions up his sleeve than a pack of feral mimes.  At every turn he whips a new one out keeping me on my toes.

Per usual, Gabi loves the camera and the camera loves her.

I have a nose,

All three of these were shot from the hip in an attempt to get as slose to her level as I could and capture things as she might see them.

Audra is getting much more comfortable with the camera.  My incessant clicking and the blast of flash doesn’t make her flinch, dodge or run anymore.  Now she comes right up and starts hamming it up for the lens.
