Someone must have been reading my little lust list because there was a Canon 50mm 1.8f lens under the tree with my name on it Christmas morning. I've been dying to play around with it since I unwrapped it! We've been so busy the past 48 hours that tonight was the first time I've really gotten a chance to use it.
Lighting in your house at night is terrible. I don't have any type of photo editing software so my pictures always have an orange tint to them no matter what I do. It's just bad artificial lighting.
I hope I can squeeze in a little more time with it before I take my tree down this weekend. This blog does a good job of explaining bokeh.
I think I'm going to take a few continuing education photography classes at the local college...I just feel like I'm wasting a great camera. I need to learn how to use it.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones. Don't forget your black eyed peas and collards for New Years Day!

Oh my gosh, at first I was so upset and heartbroken for you because I thought it said "Camera Lens Broken". Then, I had a sigh of relief when I read your post. Hope you had a great Xmas. Love the cotton:)
ReplyDeleteGREAT pictures! I love the Nifty Fifty lens, mmhm.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures! I have been thinking the same thing - that I really need to take a few photography courses!
ReplyDeleteCotton as a floral arrangement - who knew?! I absolutely adore it! And just like your first commentor, I was also worried your gift was broken...whew! :)
ReplyDeleteThe pictures look great. I feel like everyone with blogs has that great camera. My camera isn't the best but I'm just trying to make do with what I have. I'd love my blog to grow and be able to make a living out of it, I guess if it gets there than I can buy the camera without feeling guilty! Looks like you got other really great gifts too!
