Photography Stuff

You might recall that my camera is out for repair. I must say, at first I had the terrible sinking feeling (I have compared it to feeling like I've run out of toilet paper. I know--dramatic.) While it is in the shop, I've been fortunate enough to borrow my friend Jen's camera. And now that I've grown accustom to using her awesome wide-angle lens, it has inspired me to break out of my comfort zone a bit.



I normally shoot with my 50mm 1.4f lens. I have a Canon DSLR, and have been using one since 2003. I own 4 lenses, but I almost always revert to my trusty 50mm. The 50 is a prime lense--it is fixed and does not zoom unless you move in closer. It is wonderful for low light situations (and since it gets dark here in Ohio around 6:30 these days, I am often forced to shoot in those conditions.)



I've been doing a lot of photography lately. Feels good. Really good. Wanted to share a few links that I've found interesting today...
