Default A few pics with my nifty ~~~C&C always welcome~~~

I decided it was time to break out the nifty 50, as I haven't used it in quite a while. While I was at it, I thought I would just shoot wide open. Why not, right? Here are a few of the shots.

I think they came out pretty good. What you guys think?

I like wide open gives you some nice pop to your images.

I definitely agree, although, I did find it hard to get the lens to focus in on something. Not sure if I was doing something wrong, but the lens was chirping like mad looking for a focal point.

You know, I didn't even think of manual focus. I am definitely going to break it out again today and give another go at it.
