My New Toy

Last week I got a new camera lens as an early birthday present and I absolutely love it. It's a Nikon 50mm, f1.8, for those of you who understand that kind of thing. The reason I love it is because it gives you very shallow depth of field. That means that it throws the background out of focus. This is great if you are taking a picture of something and don't want to see the busy/ distracting background behind it. It also makes ordinary household objects look kind of interesting.
