Happy, happy day!!!

Today was a rather happy day...my lens arrived!!! :-)

Here 'tis:












Happy me. :-) (Does this mean I'm a *real* portrait photographer now? :-) Maybe not, but I know I can get better results with it. :-))


So! Photographers! I need some help....what is one tip you can give me about working with the 50mm f/1.4 lens? I'd really appreciate any advice you can give me. :-)

My Favorite Things Project: My Camera

Several months ago I realized that I still hadn't done anything to decorate a bare wall in my bedroom. I didn't really have any ideas but was tired of it being...well...bare! So I was walking around Ross one day and saw a set of 10 frames and a set of 3 collage frames that all matched- for $20! I came home and wrote a list of about 25 favorite things that I could take pictures of and put in the frames. I've been working on taking all those pictures this summer and am almost done! It's been a lot of fun and a great way to sharpen my photography skills. :-)


I'm going to post one picture every day or two- and by the time I'm finished I'll hopefully have my 50mm. Here's the first- my camera: Canon Rebel T1i and 18-55mm lens.

Sorry it's a bit grainy- I took it with my SX110 point-and-shoot and it was a little cloudy outside, so I had to up the ISO.
