I gave in and purchased the 51.8mm lens on my wish list for my Cannon T3i camera. It is quite possibly one of the best purchases I've made - no buyer's remorse here! :) Here is a photo dump of the first pictures I took experimenting with my new lens. I don't claim to be a photographer (even though I secretly would like to learn to be great at it) but I like the clarity, quality and the range of depth of field in these photos.
Just so you know, I didn't edit any of these photos besides re-sizing them.
This is the very first picture I took... creative, huh?!
"Axe" makes an excellent subject.... for about 30 seconds. Regardless, she is darn cute!
Meet our bull. He doesn't really have an "official" name but I do know that he doesn't like me one bit. Adam says it's because he knows I'm a girl. Whatever...
This is "70." She is a sweetheart and has the best eyelashes ever.
Taking pictures is so tiring when you're a puppy that it was only appropriate to stop and take a drink out of the hydrant. Apparently all of the cool dogs do this. I think it's an evil trick to get me soaking wet while still maintaining her cuteness.
There you have it... my camera lens experimentation. The lens definitely challenged me to look at things a little differently because there is no zoom on this particular lens so I quickly learned to re-position myself to get the shots. I love this lens and totally recommend one. You can find one for about $100 on Amazon.
Cheers to Thursday!
Oh hey, don't forget about the giveaway going on here for a Starbucks gift card and other fall goodies! :)

DeleteWe used to name our sheep by their tag numbers. :) After years and years of new animals, it's just easier that way!
ReplyDeleteSo true! Every once-in-awhile we have a calf that gets a name that sticks but it's mostly numbers! :)
DeleteWow! Super amazing shots! Love how you captured that shot with your dog in the water with such great lighting at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI say you name your bull, Benny The Bull just like the basketball team. Love your shots.
