Happy Birthday to Me!

No Coach purse, Jimmy Choo shoes, or Juicy Couture outfits...instead I opted for the Canon 50mm 1.4 lens, whoo hoo! Besides, what would I do with a fancy pair of shoes knowing my images were not the best they can be, right?
The 50mm is a fixed focal length lens or prime lens that is able to produce stellar sharpness to an image, while the f1.4 is fast and allows for low light situations like indoors or night shooting. I have to say I cheated and began using this baby a couple of weeks ago, so most of the past five blog entries and posted images were used with this lens. I love it, God has blessed me with everthing I need including a prime lens!
Happy Birthday to Me.
