Lot of things happened

I'm not posting here quite often. But the thing is that I've got a lot things to say. I've travelled to a lot of places those last few months.

I feel I've improved skills in photography and post-treatment. But I will compose a dedicated message for that soon.

I'm about to buy a new Canon lens. It's a EF 50mm f/1.4.

The idea is that you can't zoom, it's a fixed angle. But you win in sharpness (details precision) and color rendering. the focal value f/1.4 is very low. That means you can open your diaphragm very wide. This gives you two properties :

Very short depth of field (a very short neat zone) ; You can shoot in very low light.

As you can can guess, that means hard photography condition, because it's very hard to focus on a subject in the dark when your lense only allows you 3mm on neat zone.

Here is an example. You can see that on the top of the picture, details are getting blurry. They are out of the depth of field.

These objects are quite close to me. Some are from my pocket, others are just used almost every day.

My SLR camera's digital capter is smaller than a regular film SRL. So light zone it acquires is 1.6x smaller than specs written on lens notation.

With this new lens, 50mm becomes 75mm for me. That is a good solution to have a small telezoom for capturing people's emotion without being noticed.

The camera is big enough to get caught anyway :P. But I'm going try on this way.

We'll see.
