I didn't realise I hadn't posted here for over a month. I have been busy, what with learning how to use my new camera and doing the Start to Finish course with Kim Klassen. I've bought myself a new prime lens. A 50mm f1.8 lens and it's brilliant for shallow depth of field Still Life's. Still need lots of practice yet but I WILL get there. Lots to learn. F stops, ISOs, depth of field, auto focus versus manual focus modes. Just so much. I can now alter f stops and ISO without consulting the manual. :-)
Anyway, I managed to take this shot using the new lens. I used f1.8 on these wisterias and love the blurred, almost painterly feel to the background. On the whole I'm very pleased with it. Off to play some more.
