I love the background on one of them....Also,seems like you can see right through the candles. You are going to have fun with this lens.<br /><br />We just took down our greens and lights over our big window in the kitchen. I guess it was time. At least, it brightened up January.Susannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08760379367756142891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435521207575893989.post-20990396560594148412014-02-03T12:03:15.497-05:002014-02-03T12:03:15.497-05:00Those are great shots, love how the lighting was c...Those are great shots, love how the lighting was captured!Debby@Just Breathehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685398064340027809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435521207575893989.post-91546573635948427232014-02-03T09:13:34.957-05:002014-02-03T09:13:34.957-05:00Congrats on getting a prime lens, this is the star...Congrats on getting a prime lens, this is the start to a new adventure in photography. I have the 50mm f 1/4, it was and still is a lesson in progress. I have to do the zooming physically and I still have the urge to want to reach up and turn the zoom...but there is not one. I did find that about f2.2 is the sweet spot on mine, anything more wide open than that like at 1/4 everything is soft. I usually set the camera in A for aperture, set the lens on 5.6 and just go shooting to see what it will do outside. Inside, I find I like to use T mode, for shutter speed and start with 1/60 and work from there depending on the light situation. Like I said, I am still learning with this one. I took some great shots of my parrot at about f/3.3 one day and they were tack sharp. BUT...now... I tend now to put the 55-250 lens on (that is the one you have) and shoot. <br /><br />The 50mm 1/8 and the 1/4 are portrait type lens, good for some macro shots with one of those magnifying filters attached. Just about town shooting and you will have to step back some to get what you want in, it called a short lens. Like I said, practice and see what the lens will do.Tammy@Simple Southern Happinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01027582211262125136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435521207575893989.post-37264678269882562122014-02-03T09:05:42.189-05:002014-02-03T09:05:42.189-05:00Nice warm candlelight.
