What is bokeh you might ask? Bokeh is the photog term used for that nice creamy, blurry background you see in certain images. This evening while browsing the photography section of a local honda enthusiast discussion forum (AZHT.net) I came across a thread called “Prime Time – Show us your 50mm“. This thread inspired me to write a quick blog entry about my 50mm prime lens. I was pretty bored tonight, so I decided to go thru some of my image folders and I found several pics I thought would be worthy of posting up to share with fellow photogs.
This lens was my first real lens purchase several years ago when I was just starting off with my photography hobby. Back then I was shooting with a Canon 300d and the 18-55mm kit lens. I was told about the “nifty fifty” from a friend of a friend and thought for only $69 + shipping, why not? Over the years this lens has stuck with me even though I do not use it as often as I should. It has served me well and even with its cheaper build quality it can still pull off some excellent quality photos. Below are a few of my favorites with the Canon 50mm F1.8 II. Enjoy!
