When My Hobbies Collide June 16, 2009

I’ve been thinking about which lens to get next.

Our neighbor has the same camera we do, but different lenses.

I borrowed the Nikkor 50mm.

I think I want it.

Ahem . . .

I think I need it.

It’s great for portrait shots with a shallow depth of field.

It’s great at blurring the foreground and background and leaving your subject in focus.  It’s also great for low light setting because it has a quick shutter speed.

I shot some newly knitted hats with it.

I may have gone a little crazy making hats . . .  (I only photographed a small portion of what I’ve made.  David kind of makes fun of me for knitting so many hats, and I kind of pretend I can’t hear him when he tells me I’ve gone overboard.)

And shooting hats . . .

And when my knitting and photography hobbies collide, this is what you get.

Any other hobby suggestions?
