Shooting. I picked up the Nikon Nikkor 50mm 1.8 lens on Monday afternoon. Why? I was asked by a co-worker, who is part owner of Senor Wong's in St. Paul, to take some pictures of food for him. He was really looking for the shallow DoF, which I can get somewhat with the 18-200, but I wanted it to be REALLY noticeable. So I went to National Camera, and picked it up. The pictures turned out pretty well, mostly because of the lens. I didn't even put any other lens on the camera - just kept the 50mm on, and it worked out beautifully. I have 5 pictures on my Flickr stream, and I think they turned out pretty nice. And I even got to keep the food!
It will also come in handy this weekend, when I shoot pictures of the toddler C. C is the son of a woman who works with one of Becky's friends. She saw some of the pictures I took at a "Welcome Home" party that was at their house, and liked how they turned out. So, I get to take some fall pictures of her son in different places this Saturday morning. So, I'm hoping that it will pay itself off in the long run. And as it wasn't that expensive of a lens in the first place, I'm really hoping it won't take long.
