Salutations one and all!!
I joined the forum a couple weeks ago, and have been doing some major lurking since.
I decided to make my first post in this thread because I just received this lens in the mail yesterday!
I hope to be accepted here by all, and as a peace offering from a newbie, I have looked at EVERY SINGLE PAGE in this thread!
Hope my diligence buys at least some small manner of respect from the establishment!
Now all joking aside I see from the many pages of GREAT photos that I have a lot to learn.
You guys can take a picture of a dirty ash tray and make it so interesting that it draws you in
and makes you wonder about it's story! It almost pisses me off to tell the truth
But never the less, I am determined to learn this craft.
I don't mind studying and reading on the subject.
I also don't mind harsh criticism. ...at least over the web
My shots are not anywhere near as good as even the worse shots I have seen here.
I see I need to work on getting sharper images first and maybe composition a close second.
I learned what little I know back in the days of film.
I am happy to learn that it (for the most part) translated over to the digital world pretty straight up
anywho... this was THE first shot taken with my nifty fifty!

Next: I made my youngest one come out for a quick shot... forgot to grab my flash, I was so excited about the lens. He was somewhat less excited about the picture

Look forward from learning from you guys! Feel free to rip into me like a monkey eating a banana! I can take it!
