Nifty Fifty

Guess who's excited about a new lens, yesssss it's me, it's me *jumps with joy.  Funnily, my friend asks which contact lens are you getting so excited about?  LOL.

Welcome Nifty Fifty, the newest addition to my photography gear.  I have been wanting a prime lens for a while.  (Prime lens have a fixed focal length so zooming in/out equals walking near/far from the subject :)  Camera + workout gear ehh, can't beat that.

Generally, I do not know or care about gadgets and gear but I had heard a lot about the prime lens and how it boosts your creative side and makes you think and visualize the shot.

I could not wait to give it a try right away so I just walked around my home looking for something to take photos of.  I need to get used to the large aperture, lots of light and zero zoom.  Here are some shots from today:

Happy Valentine's Day!

I could not find a photo with hearts, cards or chocolates.  So, I chose this photo because I think it is super cute and full of love.   How many of you went awwwww?  A little story behind this photo.  I was nowhere near the family instead was far up and away in a building with my tele-zoom.  I saw the dad setting up camera on the stroller after writing in the sand.  Ofcourse, I have to be nosy so I kept zooming in then started to take photos.  It looks like we both almost pressed the shutter at the same time.  

The photo brings joy to me and I hope it has the same impact on you!  After all, isn't Valentine's day all about bringing happiness to each other?

Happy Valentine's day! 

Spread the love

Although I was at a destination spot, Destin, I was not feeling it.  Maybe because it was off season the place just was not appealing; it  seemed dead.  Sometimes I wonder if I am just so moody that no matter what if I don't feel it, I don't.  One of my excuses, I'm a creative person, so I can get away with being moody, okayyy! :)

So anyway, as we were strolling down the almost empty boardwalk, I stopped and took some photos of birds, boats, handy man fixing a house and some vibrant orangy red fishes interestingly or disgustingly hung for display. 

Then as we were leaving, we came across a humongous tree that had branches spread out wide as if it were reaching out with its arms wide open.  I sure could feel the love this time.

Out of everything else in Destin, weirdly, I was awestruck by this tree.  I just stood there mesmerized and was like, wow, look at that tree, it's amazing.  Ofcourse, I might've been tagged crazy.  Surely, not the first time.  Once again, I can get away with being crazy coz I am an artist lol.  So nevertheless, I ended of taking photos of the tree from different angles and this is one of my favorite. 

Hope you enjoy as much as I enjoyed!  Spread the love!  Peace4all!
