Well people. I have finally done it. After countless photographers made the recommendation, I have finally gone out and bought a 50 mm 1.8 lens. Let me just say – I love it. For those of you who are new to the photography scene, this specific lens is super duper cool. It allows you to get real close to your subject, and if you adjust the aperture you can blur most of the picture around what you want to focus on. You can always adjust the aperture when using a kit lens too, but those lenses are usually capable of very little aperture-wise, which means you wont have great results if you are trying to blur your background. With the 50mm 1.8 you can easily blur both foreground and background!! This is a random shot I took last night while playing with the settings. I have done absolutely no editing to this picture. This is straight up raw dreaminess. Notice the lens flare in her skirt.
Anyway here are some other photos I took of our lovely pets yesterday.
A little cuteness never hurt anyone!
This little puppy’s name is Kostos. He is the size of a pony.
And this is Koshka (Russian for kitty) but we call him Koshi.
And this is Rajah Bear.

My favorite lens that I use!
LOVE your doggie - so big but looks like a big softie.
I too am getting into photography and have asked for a 50-200mm lens for Christmas. It is definitely a fun but expensive hobby!
