A New Lens

I also got to play with my new lens today. It came in a day early from Amazon. It is way too easy to order stuff from Amazon. I ordered a 50mm for my Canon T2i. I think it will help with my indoor shots since it has an aperture of 1.8. But I went out in the garden in search of something pink.

Tricia of A Rosy Note is having a photo party and the subject was pink. With 3 boys, a husband and even a male dog I don’t have a lot of pink indoors.

f2.2 - 1/250s - ISO:100

It will take some getting used to. I have to remember that with the aperture open that wide I will get less detail. So I stepped it down just a bit to get more.

f1.8- 1/160s- ISO:100

Here is the same shot, or close to the same, but the one on the left I had the white balance on auto and on the right I tried shady. I was in the shade so I thought I’d try it. It gave it a more golden tone. A little blurry but it was a good example of the difference in color you can get.

This guy was ticked off and kept squawking at me. I was just waiting for him to jump on my back while I was taking a picture.

This guy could care less and let me get pretty close. I did crop it some. Isn't he cute?

  3. Congrats on the new lens. I love it for the 1.8 aperture. Hey, what's the deal with the boys in your house not letting you paint the house with the color of the year?? :•)

  5. Good luck with your new lens Anita!!

    I am dying for a macro lens but haven't been able to do it because the prices are ridiculous.

    Maybe for my birthday though....

    Your new lens is already taking really pretty pictures!

  11. Beautiful shots - you're going to love that lens although I think it's sweet shot is more like 2.2/2.5 rather than wide open. Have a great weekend!

  13. If a different lens helps make beautiful photos like yours, then I have to get one! Just wish I knew more about apeture, f thingys and ISO.

    Hope your Sunday is photo-worthy!

  18. Hi - We live in South Florida so we're always seeing those little lizards running around everywhere! My husband loves them!

    All the photos are lovely!
