We spent the last sunny bank holiday Monday visiting
Nymans,a National Trust house and gardens in West Sussex. Wandering down forget-me-not lined paths, admiring tulips and wisteria, and peeking through the windows of the part-ruined house was a pretty great way to celebrate the day off work.
I took along my new 50mm / f1.8 lens for its first outing and after a bit of trial and error I'm really pleased with some of the pictures. It has captured the magical light that morning perfectly and creates a dreamy background blur. I found the fixed 50mm a bit of a challenge at first (and kept trying to zoom in/out) but you get used moving your feet rather than the camera after a while!
Here are some of my favourites:

Gorgeous photographs - looks a very beautiful place!
ReplyDeleteThanks, it's so lovely need more than one visit to see it all! x
DeleteI fancy one of those lenses but I'm pretty sure I'd have the same problem you did with wanting to twist it! The pics look great anyway :)
ReplyDeleteI love the first and third photograph! I bought myself a 50mm lens a while back and it was quite strange getting used to it after using my kit lens for a long time. I was always trying to zoom in and out and always standing too close to something and having to walk backwards all the time haha. I'm slightly better although I still have to walk back a little when I want to take photos of larger things - I just keep checking in the view finder to see if I'm in the right place yet haha,
ReplyDeleteI do love the photos it creates though, so it was totally worth looking like a bit of an idiot constantly taking a step back all the time :)
