Two this week because I couldn’t decide which one I preferred. I mean, neither are particularly good, but they demonstrate the nice depth of field I can get with my new Canon EF II 50mm lens.

I’ve been toying with the idea of getting a new lens for a while — possibly a wide angle zoom, but they are a bit pricey. This lens seemed a good compromise — it was pretty cheap (about £80 from Amazon) and you can open it up to f/1.8 so there’s the potential there for some interesting shots — the operative word being potential I think.
The daffodils I took in Gordon Square the first time I tried out the lens; the second shot is a homage to the cover of Norman’s Design of Everyday Things book.

Last week my copy of the first volume of Time Out Country Walks finally bought it. To be honest, it’s never been the same since that time I dropped it in a bog on its first or second outing. It was much loved and much used — hopefully I’ll still be able to take some photocopies from it though.
