Prime Time - Image 2

Here is another image with my new 50mm lens.

Prime Time

I got a new lens a few weeks ago but have just now had time to try it out.

For all the Gearheads out there it's a Nikon 50mm f1.4G. I forgot how nice it is to shoot with a prime lens. When you shoot with a fixed focal length you have to think about what you are shooting and move around your subject to get the best angle. I sometimes find with zoom lenses they can make you a bit lazy as you don't have to move around as much.

With a "standard" prime lens like a 50mm you get a very fast lens which is great for low light situations like "The First Dance" at a wedding. And when you shoot at wide apertures like f1.4 it really helps to isolate your subject from the background, great for portraits.

After shooting for 20 minutes or so you find it easier to visualise images because you become used to looking at the world though one field of view.  The image here is of my daughter Eliza Jewel Faulkner playing in our garden.

Thought I would post these images from my personal work as I like their colour pallet. They will be decorating a clients newly decorated lounge shortly.
