Adventures at 50mm

Hello Blogworld..I hope you have not given up on me yet.

In order to keep motivated in my photography, I have decided to embark on a small project with my 50 mm lens

I bought the lens in the summer but I haven't used it much because with my camera I have to manually focus with it and that scared me a bit. The idea of being precise with my focusing all by myself seemed too daunting. So in the last week or so, I've been doing a lot of research and it's actually not as bad as I thought it would be. In my research, I found a flickr group for users of the 50mm lens. Read about it here.

I blew the dust over my lens and went on my way. Basically over the next 365 days, I will be taking a photo a day with my 50mm till I'm a 50mm focusing machine. Every month, I will post my last 30 days with my new best friend :). To kick off, here's something I took at the Rouge Poetry night in Edmonton. My sister runs a poetry night here in Edmonton and if you are in town, you MUST check it out. It's every Tuesday night at 8.30 pm and it's simply awesome.

This is Nick who is Titi's co-host and fellow poet at Rouge.
