New Addition
When I found out this morning that I had received a package, I could not wait to go pick it up. But I had to get through all of my classes first before I could go get it.
I knew what it was before opening the box (I had missed part of my SAGES class last week to snipe a mid afternoon eBay auction and had been tracking the shipment ever since then) but as any college student will tell you, getting a package is great whether you know what it is or not.
Anyway, I took the UPS shipped box back up to my room and unpacked...a new camera lens! It's a 50mm f/1.4 prime lens, and even though I only had the chance to use it for about 5 minutes this evening, I love it already. The depth of field on it is so shallow (I tried showing this through the photo above...see how only the middle part of "Canon" is in focus?), it works incredibly well in the dark (I was able to take a bunch of ISO 400, f/1.4, 1/80s shots outside after 9pm no problem) and the bokeh effect with it is awesome.
I can't wait to take some portrait photos with this. Maybe I'll have something to post later next week.
