 I got a new lens for Christmas and have had very little time to actually play with it because we are moving. But curiosity got the best of me today and I grabbed it to take a few shots. It is a Canon 85mm 1.8. I think I am really going to love it. I had my daughter step outside around 4pm, overcast mostly. I found that she was too close to me and I could not really back up on the porch far enough. I'll have to get used to backing up. But the light there was nice, and I was just experimenting. I would love to see what others have done with this same lens, so I will know what it is capable of with some experience behind me. I see that her mouth is not in focus, but I was so excited to be able to open it up to 1.8 that I just had to try it there for a while.

I like the color tones in this shot, and the clarity of her eyes is very nice. The fact that the DOF may be a little shallow is fine IMO as it really brings the viewer to her eyes and lets the rest fall off almost in a soft focus kind of way, which is pleasing in a portrait.

Nice work with your new "toy". Enjoy!!! :D

This is a sweet shot Julie. Try stopping the lens down a bit next time for a deeper DOF.

Enjoy the new lens!
