Well, I'm playing with my new lens, the Nikkor 50mm, 1:1.4...

I'm learning how to use it, how to grow with it...The guy at the camera store showed me how to use the Aperture priority, and I'm loving that!

Here's a few examples:

1. The new AF-S version, nice!

How do you like it on the DX body? I have the previous "screwdriver" version. The angle of view always seemed a bit narrow on my D200, but the 35mm did not exist at the time. I never got around to using it as a mini telephoto 75mm equivalent like you have done here.

3. I love it!

It feels just a bit weird since it's not a zoom...

I'm so used to using the auto feature that this also feels a bit strange...

However, I am very happy with the results.

2. The bokeh is nice and creamy. I like that.

4. Thanks, Alfredo...

Yeah, me too!

[alfredo]

5. I'm still looking for the perfect bokeh, but money prevents

a thorough search. ;)

6. I know how lucky I am when my husband will buy me such a great lens...

[alfredo]

7. He must love your photography.

Well, off to the polls. I am an election judge, and I have to be there at 5:30.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. He does indeed. He taught me how, and now I take all the pictures...

Good work being an election judge!

Hope you have a great day!

10. It was a long day. A beer and a sandwich has helped me heal.

9. Looks like you are having fun

with your new toy! And I'm sure you'll keep on experimenting and pushing the lens to it's limits. That's the fun of photography!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. And I AM having fun!

Thanks, my dear Callalily!
