Yesterday it was really, really nice outside. I let the boys play out in the backyard (which happens to be one of my favorite features of this house) and I brought out my camera to practice with my new lens that I got for Christmas. Ethan cracks me up. He loves to have his picture taken, and pulls all kinds of faces...like the one in this picture. Now, I really like this picture of Ethan because it shows who he is: a little goofball. But, I also think if you didn't know Ethan (or maybe even if you do), this is kind of a scary picture. What do you think, does it say "demon child" to you?

It's hard to look at that face and think "Demon Child". Too cute...
What the new lens do?
Well, it's just a different focal length than I'm used to, and it opens up to f/1.8...which means it creates really nice bokeh (background blurring). It's a 50mm prime lens (it doesn't zoom), and so I need practice moving myself instead of being lazy and zooming in. Also, I needed practice with using the lens all the way opened up...I needed to see just how much of the picture would blur when set to f/1.8.
And, it's a nice, sharp lens and I was practicing making sure their eyes were in focus and that they had nice catch-lights (sparkles from reflected light).
If you ever get into dslr photography, the 50mm f/1.8 by Nikkor is a great lens to have - awesome quality, and pretty inexpensive.
Hopefully that answered your question :)
No, he doesn't. Grandma Hatch
I agree with Grandma Hatch! He's too cute!
