in this time that i have been without my 50mm lens, i have been using my 18-55mm 3.5-5.6 and my 55-250mm 4-5.6. they have been fine and i felt like i had been catching some great images with them. until one day, i miraculously snapped the 50mm back together, and it worked for all of 20 min. i was ecstatic and realized, ok steph, time to get a replacement.
i order a new 50mm on tuesday from adorama, chose the 3-4 day shipping, and was pleasantly surprised that my lens arrived yesterday morning!!! how fantastic!
i immediately got shooting. my boys were in the middle of having their snacks and watching some cartoons - great subjects as usual. :)
here are some of the shots that i got. (a 50mm is a breathe of fresh air!)
i love the way ryan squats. so cute.
poor ryan is teething - getting some of those bigger teeth in. mommy kissing jack. and the last two are the boys laughing at mommy - jack in the midst of eating his goldfish.
Nice post! I can't imagine life without my prime lens. I don't have an 'upscale' zoom, so everytime I have to use it (like I will today), I am not the happiest camper. However, love what you got and make it work, right?!
ReplyDeleteSo excited for you! I know how stoked you were about getting it (maybe it was the coffee?) Can't wait to see what else you can do with it!
ReplyDeleteYay! for the new lens. I can't imagine the feeling of watching your glass shatter.
ReplyDeleteI love your site Stephanie. Your designs, colors, and photography are a sweet mix of beauty and peacefulness.
~so nice to meet you!
