Found this neat article on creating your own Bokeh. Looks like something I can try with the 50mm.

See more photos

After waiting for about two weeks, I finally got the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens from Merkle Camera on Wednesday. As mentioned in my previous post about the lens, Merkle did not inform me that my item was back-ordered until I sent in an e-mail. Their usual policy is that orders are sent out within 2 business days and, in the event that there was any delay, they’d notify me directly. Not only did they not notify me, their response times were abysmal.

Onto the lens

I took a bunch of photos over the past two days and I’ve attached a few of them to this post. I’m still playing around with apertures to see what works best in what situation so I imagine that my photos aren’t the greatest.[nggtags gallery=2012_04_19_20 template=compact] (more…)
