Spain Dad, a baby blog

For all you photo junkies out there, here are my first photos with my new 50mm lens…

I bought this lens because late this fall when the days began to get shorter, I found that I was taking photos of Alleke in the evening at home without natural light, and it was almost impossible to get my photos to turn out without them being either blurry or grainy or an unflattering yellow color.

I’ve found this 50mm f/1.8 D lens to be a great solution. I’d even call it a “family-friendly lens” as it allows for taking photos without flash in low-light situations with moving objects (aka children at home) and at the same time great depth-of-field for portraits. It’s also less-expensive than most lenses at $125 on Amazon. I would assume the reason is because it’s not a zoom lens.

If you have any advice on using this lens or others with your family, feel free to leave a comment…
