Spending time with my 50mm lens is like learning to see all over again (not that I ever stopped).<\/p>\n
I think that I had become lazy with zoom lenses, enamored in the impact and drama of extreme wide angle and in many cases was relying on extreme perspective to draw attention to a scene.<\/p>\n
The 50mm lens is forcing me to rethink what gives a scene impact or where a visual story is being told. I have to move around so much more to frame that I spend more time thinking about way I am capturing and in some ways I am developing a new respect for the really good iPhone image makers.<\/p>\n
There will definitely be more 50mm to come.<\/p>\n
