I have been spending some time now with just a simple 50mm prime lens.<\/p>\n
The only way to zoom is by moving into a new position to frame an image the way I want it. Many times I find I just can’t go back any further due to roads or buildings to get a wide view. Often I am thwarted in getting closer to the detail by fences, walls or windows. 50mm means having to work a little bit harder than I am used to.<\/p>\n
Limitations aside I have a new found freedom in that simple 50mm prime lens. No wondering about my choice of lens or zoom. No concerns over missing a shot changing lenses and no bag of gear to lug around with me.<\/p>\n
So when I looked up to capture this image of the new Adelaide Convention Centre extension, walked backwards over the North Terrace tram lines to frame my shot, all I really thought about was the composition and the one white car driving by.<\/p>\n
