new toys…

Everyone likes new toys, I am no exception. For quite some time, I have wanted a small aperture (f2.8) lens. I love shooting with them because the large opening gives the photos very shallow depth of field. Shallow depth of field makes the background blurry which helps when you know you’re going to have a background which you can’t control such as a crowd at a sporting event. One of these lenses is well over $1000 new and I just couldn’t make that kind of investment for a hobby. I have been keeping my eye out for a good used lens. I finally found a good quality lens with little wear and tear at a reasonable price. Excited to break it in, I took it to a track meet to see what it would do outside. I love the results and love my new lens. Below is one of my favorite shots from the meet.
