Last week, I got a box in the mail from a nice little company called B&H Photo Video that I had been waiting for. Unfortunately, it came right in the middle of a nasty cold that left me feeling, well…nasty. But I instantly felt a little better when I opened up the box.
I had been wanting this lens for a loooooooong time. And it felt good to finally get it. It’s a 50mm, fixed focal lenth (read: no zoom) lens with an aperture beginning at f/1.4. Can you say cool?
It’s great for pictures where you want a very small depth of field. Like this…
Or this…
These were my Valentines Day roses from my parents. They made me smile 
. And the 50mm made them look pretty nice, don’t you think?
Three of Toni’s favorite things:

Once upon a time there was a brother and a sister who were at home all by themselves one weekend. They were sad because they missed out on going to a tournament with the rest of the family. But they decided to make the best of things. So they played games, watched a few movies, went shopping, and all sorts of other fun things.
One day the brother and sister were stuck inside the house because it was freezing cold and raining outside. The sister noticed some beautiful window lighting coming in her front window. So she took action.
The little brother was an exceptionally handsome young man.
He had a cute smile too.
They decided that self-timers are very nice tools to put on cameras.
Then the little brother decided to try his hand at the picture-taking himself.
The end.
