Dinner at 50mm
May 25th, 2008 by Scott
I took a few quick pictures this weekend. On Saturday night, we were both working at a gig in Harrisburg. She was doing Digital Caricatures and I was in Harrisburg for magic for most of the day.
When she finished, we stopped by Perkins on the way home for breakfast at around 1 a.m.! While sitting there, I snapped a quick picture of my wife, Angie. Just thought I’d share.
I have been playing around with the 50mm prime lens I have. The 50mm is a great lens since it restricts your field of view. With a standard zoom lens, we too often just zoom in. With a 50mm, your stuck at, well, 50mm. So you’ve got to think about your shots a little more.
This picture of Angie was taken with the 50mm, then I desaturated it in Photoshop to give it a more artistic look. Portraits just look cool when done in Black and White. *grin*
This picture was taken at the front entrance of the Luxor Casino in Las Vegas. While out there two weeks ago, I took this picture with the same 50mm lens. Another great feature with the 50mm is that its a fast lens. This one is f1.8 and so I can get some great depth of field shots.
