Fergie 50mm f/1.8

This image is proof that if you are a Canon owner you don’t need to spend $1,400+ on a 50mm 1.2 lens, or $1,400+ on a 35mm 1.4 lens or $1,600+ on a 24mm 1.4 lens, to get really beautiful bokeh. This shot was taken with the $100 50mm 1.8 lens. That’s right, one hundred dollars. Go buy it here.

I stumbled on this image a few days ago while cleaning off my hard drive on my macbook pro, freeing up about 30GB of space (yay for me!).  I didn’t even know I had this shot, and in fact don’t ever remember seeing it before, or doing the black and white conversion on it. I have a lot of these types of files, shots I’ve taken that get filed away in some random spot, never to be seen again. I was thrilled to discover this, because I absolutely love it. Now if only I could remember what the B/W conversion was I did on it. ;-)

Fergie 50mm f/1.2

I had the occasion recently to try out the Canon 50mm f/1.2 L series lens on Fergie during a little shoot in our yard. The lens produces significant soft bokeh, does great color renditions and, although a little tricky to use wide open at f/1.2 because of the super shallow DOF, this lens makes it REALLY easy to produce nice looking shots. These are all SOOC- no editing in Lightroom or Photoshop applied.

All: 50mm f/1.2 manual 100 ISO 1/5000 sec
