Purchased myself a new lens, the Canon 85mm f/1.8 USM fast prime. This is a medium telephotos lens. Because of it’s exceptionally large aperture opening (f/1.8), this lens is excellent for portraiture and indoor sports. Soft out-of-focus foreground and background (bokeh) effect is easily achieved at f/1.8. Took it out for some test shots a couple of days ago. Got some great end-of-day and night shots. As usual, Annie is my test model for some of these shots.
All photographs were shot in Raw Format with a Canon 50D.
