Ok.... One last one with the 50mm.

My random life, infront of the lens.

American flag, curious pit bull in the window, and a little whit house. That's the American dream, right? Love walking with my camera.

Let's play....
The versatility of the 50mm is amazing. It's very similar to the filed of view of the human eye. Taking bad photos with a 50mm is just a hard thing to do! Even everyday objects look vivid and interesting.

I see you...
Another venture with the 50mm. Granted this is just the 1.8, but the bokeh this cheap lens gives is still beautiful. This stray cat was spotted on one of my nightly walks. Some vegetation covering a fence gave me a nice little peephole to snag an image before he ran away. Literally snapped this as he noticed me, then sprinted away.

I have been talking about a little project where I shoot with only one lens at a time. This kicks off a week with only my 50mm, but first.... Let me take a selfie.

there are very few things that i enjoy about winter. one of them is the beauty and randomness that it produces. no matter how many times you see ice, snow, or frost it is never the same. constant change and transition is something that makes for beauty in the smallest things.
in this shot i used my 50mm f1.8 to shoot a very large icicle coming off our roof. i had the aperture maxed out to get the fastest shutter i could to freeze the drop as it fell. i took plenty of shots of this and loved the macro style of this shot.

some new toys i got...

i decided to play with the Brenizer method again today. i used this bench under a bridge in Sioux Falls to create a pretty neat panorama.
i also shot one from a little different perspective.

this is my first attempt at the Brenizer method. this method consists of stitching multiple photos together to achieve a focal length and aperture that can not be matched by most lenses.
this photo of my son is comprised of 70 photos all shot with my 50mm f1.8 on a canon 50D. i used photoshop to stitch them together and crop the image down. this is about 55 photos worth cropped and re-sized.
due to the cropped sensor i am using an effective focal length of 80mm at f1.8 each image was re sized to 1500x1000 before stitching. after i finishes the image is 6674x4333 with and effective focal length of 18.125mm at f.41. that is super impressive depth of field, and due to all the images being hi res the final image has TONS of detail.
you can google the Brenizer method to see plenty of tutorials, and the calculator i used to figure the effective focal length and aperture. i have a feeling i will be using this method more in the future for some of my still life photography. it takes some extra time, but the finished product is well worth it.

New ride....
Took my new Specialized Langster out for a ride last night. Thank you again to Two Wheeler Dealer of Sioux Falls for carrying an amazon line of bicycles.
This is an amazingly fun bike, and I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a fun commuter, or just another bike to add to the fleet!
This is the chromoly version; steel is real, and is super comfortable. Cranked out 10 miles (i need cycling shorts, bad) with my camera and a couple lenses in a backpack. Managed to snag a few photos, and decided to snap a couple of the new ride as well.
If you're a Sioux Falls native, stop in and check out the only Specialized concept store in South Dakota! You can also check them out in Rapid City, and Spearfish, SD. Or at twowheelerdealer.com

hasty picture this week. i had another one planned to try, but it did not work out. possibly next week.
this is an HDR photo, of the pond waterfall in my back yard. shot at f22 on a cloudy day. actually, this morning. i have really been cutting this close the last few weeks. i'm going to try to plan ahead a bit more from now on.... TRY, being the key word.
