50mm f/1.8


A while ago, I saw a photograph taken in an office of a cup of coffee, and in the background were out of focus computers and other office equipment.  I was taken with the quality of that image - that only a small part of the picture was sharp.  I realized how the photographer did that.  They used a normal lens - a 50mm focal length, and they used it "wide open" meaning at it's largest opening - f/1.8.  So I experimented a bit with several different subjects and liked the effect.  So here is a photo of a single fern on the front bank. I really love the look of this.
