Morning At Bedlam Farm, Wednesday, August 21, 2024. Testing A New Soft Trial Lens

by Jon Katz

I’ve got a used 50 mm lens to try out for 30 days (with a trade-in). I like the soft feeling of it. It will help with flower photography and also with acene shots like these below. I want my photography to keep going and getting better. This lens takes photos I can’t take with my existing lenses. With every new lens, my photography grows.

It’s a gloomy morning at the farm, with no sun at all.

 


Zip tracking the sheep, considering a dash into the marsh.

 

In the garden.

 

Apple tree in the back pasture.

Zinnia is barred from the pasture for two days, throwing up a lot of manure. Labs. She just stares balefully at me, but she never holds a grudge.

Landscape, Dusk.

Garden Bed

Where there is hope.

  1. My 50mm 1/4L lens was one of the first fixed lens I purchased as a photographer. It’s ancient now, but still one of my go-to lenses when I want that soft effect. It took many a portrait in its day…and mine. 🙂
