Testing out my new lens.
One thing I wanted since I got my new Samsung GX-1S dSLR was a 50mm f1.4 lens, and recently that was made possible - thanks to Ebay.. wonderful Ebay… I got a Sigma lens for really cheap.
I wanted to get it before I went to Paris - but unfortunately circumstances led it to being late, and I got it on Tuesday.
I’ve taken it around the home and some of the botanic gardens and thought I’d show you some of my first experiments.
My cat, who was slightly annoyed that I bugged him with my camera while he was eating.
My sister, with my cat.
The depth of field can be really small, and is sometimes really hard to focus, since it’s a manual lens. But when it’s correctly focused, it’s really.. really sharp.
Some shots in the Botanics - just because I had the spare time to do so.
One of my particular favourites.
Back at home, it’s rare to get a good picture of my mother. I liked this one.
My sister. It was an alright ‘contemplating’ shot - but it was bad that my mum decided to put her hand into the shot.
Oh well.
Hope you enjoyed my first experiments. I’ll do some more when I’m not too busy.
Later.
