Fun with the fifty!

Had the chance to take some pics of the kid while at my mothers today. First time out with the new 50mm f/1.8. You can see when I started losing the light. I should have used a fill flash on the last couple but just didn't want to.

CC appreciated!

Ken, that first one is fantastic! Great DOF, and a perfect pose too, very flattering for her. I think you hit the nail on the head about lighting on the rest of them.

The fourth one is nice, too, but a levels adjustment would be needed to make it just right.

Keep on shooting with that 50mm!

I've created a bunch of 50mm monsters lol.

Beautiful shots of a beautiful young lady Ken. Don't ya just love that 50mm :thumbsup:

I can't wait to get one!!!

Awesome stuff there...I think my 50 will be spending time on the Nikon today.

I think Allison started something....

Thanks everyone! Alison, yes you did create a monster and I love, love, LOVE this lens. This is my first prime and I keep going for the zoom ring. I really like how it makes me think more about composition.

Ok, some levels adjustments on 3 and 4.

I need a reflector.

Great shots! I really like the first one. The pose, the smile, the bokeh, it's gorgeous!!!

Very nice Ken. Glad your enjoying the 50. I'm having a ball with my little cheapie.
