Fun in Prime Time

The other day, I got an opportunity to play around with a co-workers 50mm prime lens. With all of my experience being in lenses that have at least some zoom, it was interesting to have to do all the leg work myself. Of course, the trade off is an extremely fast lens. Spent most my lunch break with the camera all the way down in f1.4 and though the results were somewhat off, it was still a pretty interesting experiment.


Not sure what kind of flower this is but they are blooming in abundance in this area. Love the purple color. It interesting that at f1.4, the whole flower isn't in focus though.
