50mm f/1.8 Lens War Thread

[Alison]

Alison, another cute shot of your daughter! You are the portrait queen.

Thank you shrackman you are far too kind.
I have alot of willing subjects to help me get plenty of practise.
Now if I could only get some customers...it might help me buy that Canon EF 70-200mm F2.8 L USM IS that I'm after :thumbsup:

Here are a few more.

Taken around the golden hour. F/1.8, ISO 100, SS 1/400


I just want to show the verstaility of this lens. I know a wide angle would probably have been better for firework shots, but my 50mm 1.8, as far as I was concerned, was the best lens I had at the time.
And, thanks to the firework tips here, Fireworks Tips I thought I got some pretty good shots. So, thank you to Sebastian and all the other members who contributed to that thread.

F/14.0, SS bulb, ISO 100, handheld


Taken on an overcast day, F/2.2, SS 1/1000, ISO 100, added some colour pop


Indoors, window light only, F/5.6, SS 1/80, ISO 400


I'm suprised I got anything at all here. Backlighting and action?...not the easiest of shooting conditions. I'm so pleased it turned out.

SS 1/1250, F/2.8, ISO 100, Flash with diffuser fired


This Lemur came out of it's enclosure and sat on a fence near us. I was so excited to get this shot.
Taken on an overcast day, F/9.0, SS 1/80, ISO 400


I should stop. I'm taking over this thread lol. It's just that I have sooooo many GREAT shots taken with this lens!
