Well I had the chance to use it while I was voluntold to accompany my parents down South. So while there, I took a TON of pictures. Most of the pictures came out crappy but a few came out pretty decent:

I took quite a few pictures when we went to Coca Cola World in Atlanta…

and while in Atlanta, when we visited the largest aquarium in the world…

It was beyond awesome, as well as beyond crowded, but I still love fishy!

And I can’t forget about family, friends, and family friends…

And (apologies to any vegetarians in advance) of a Barbecue…

…

DSC_0721

And the results thereof…

I love my new lens :)

And I am crazy about bokeh. I purchased a Nikon D60 a few months ago but haven’t got a chance to use it like I would like. I have been eyeballing the 50mm f/1.8 lens from Nikon. It’s a great prime lense and does fantastic bokeh. Apparently the lense that comes with the camera doesn’t produce the bokeh I am looking for because of the lack of a low “1.8″ f-stop.  The lower the f-stop the better the bokeh (well not really since this isn’t the only factor…but i shan’t bore you).

In case you don’t know what bokeh it’s “The pleasing quality of the out of focus areas of an image, produced by the lens. Derived from the Japanese word for fool”

And just in case you didn’t know this is bokeh

This is bokeh

This is bokeh

I love bokeh.

Get it?

Should I buy the lense?
