Today I received my new camera lenses! They came in the mail today, so I had to go out on a photo trek to try them out. One is a zoom lens with mild telephoto capabilities. The other (more visually impressive for you all to see in examples) is what I'll show you. This is the 50 millimeter prime lens which has an aperture that opens as wide as 1.4. To those who don't know the photo jargon, that means the aperture opens wide to let more light in, thus taking crisper photos in low light, and also allowing a beautiful background blur effect. See my experiments today:
These are my dad's old Pentax lenses (which don't work on my camera). See how nicely the background comes out of focus? This intentional efffect is called bokeh.
My ring and my backyard.
Some weird milk pod thing. This lens has also been praised for it's accuracy with portrait photography. Me in the sun...
The bokeh tends to look very nice for close ups. We don't need excess confusion in the background to distract from the subject. Me in the shade:
This lens will do the job for those inevitable indoor situations.
