This is Samantha from my previous post "Little Princess". Last Sunday morning the family had breakfast together and I brought my camera along wanting to try out my new lens that Paul got for me - a Canon 50mm f/1.8 prime! I just love the very shallow depth of field you can achieve with it and also its performance in low light.
Wanting to keep f/1.8 I set the camera to aperture-dependent mode, ISO 400 and automatic white balance. All I had to do was tell Sam to "say cheese" which makes her smile for photos (most of the time!). I focused on Sam's face then recomposed to have her mother out of focus in the background. I really liked the blue colour of the background walls.
In photoshop I resized, increased contrast and saturation very slightly and finally applied unsharp mask 70% at 0.5 pixel radius. I would really appreciate it if any one could give me tips or advice on the use of this new prime lens. Thanks for stopping by.
