It's been a while since I posted and now everything is new and different, because that's what happens- that's how we roll. I have new plans.
I bought a new prime lens for my camera last week, and I've been using it pretty much exclusively since. 'Prime' means it is fixed at one zoom position. This makes it less flexible for general purposes, but it means that it can be built with a very large aperture (for the price).
This means two things to me:
1: Narrow depth of field! Get everything really blurry (yeah!) except a tiny bit chosen apparently at random by the autofocus machine in the camera! I actually like this.
2: Great in low light! Which my other lenses aren't.
It also looks really squat and chunky on the camera body, and I find this appealing for some reason.
