The Nifty 50mm

A while ago I broke down and purchased a lens that had been on my want list for a while, the Canon 50mm f1.8. I'd been wanting a lens that was wider than my 70-200mm f2.8 for pet portraits and preferably with out the painful price tag. I'd heard good things about the 50mm and thought I'd give it a try. I picked one up on ebay for all of $80 (a drop in the bucket in photography land) and have been having a blast with it!

My first victim was Maxie who resides at my parents house. Max doesn't actually belong to my folks, but he is at their house enough he might as well. Its fitting, because his owner, David, isn't actually my uncle but hangs around enough he might as well be.

Max is almost 9 now and has a bit of grey showing his age. I think its just adorable!

Like a lot of cattle dogs he is OBSESSED with fetch.



Two trouble makers ready for me to stop taking pictures and throw the ball (and also a lawn chair)

Stay tuned for more pet portraits in the near future!!
