2.7.11

f1.8

new lens baby!

well newish... i got it in april and i'm loving it.
it's a nikkor 35mm f1.8.  that's what i'm talking about!

some of you may be wondering what the heck f1.8 means.
that has to do with aperture and how wide open the lens is when you take a picture.
if you have a low f-stop, you're wide open,
which lets more light in and gives you greater depth of field 
(and the background 'fuzzies' that i love).

here are some photos i've captured with my new lens:
first day with new lens
jude likes the new lens too - he took this one




a lovely flower bokeh

as you can see, i had fun photographing plants & flowers this spring.
which one is your favourite?
bonus points if you can name all the flowers...
