I love my prime lens.
Ever since I bought my Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens, all my other lenses have been languishing in the dry box. It took me some time to get used to using a prime lens after years of zoom lenses, but now that I’ve gotten the hang of it, I definitely prefer shooting with prime. It’s more challenging, and the results are a lot more rewarding.
That’s not to say I’m an expert photographer or anything though. Miles from it, in fact. It took me forever and a day to understand aperture, shutter speed and exposure value in order to transition from relying on the camera’s auto functions to shooting in manual mode. All I know how to do is hoist the camera, adjust the settings and shoot, and come what may. I was always a borderline failure in physics class and my aptitude for the subject has not changed over the years!

This is an excellent shot Jean! Prime lenses are really the best.
Great shot – I use my F1.4 all the time too!
Dear Jean,
Thanks very much for your interesting blog. It’s always nice to see how people on the other side of the globe live, how they share the same joys and sorrows, what they do in their free time, etc.
I actually have a question about your blog. Would you mind helping us with a linguistic research project? We’re compiling data from various Singaporean weblogs. All it requires is checking a few boxes. If you want to take part and/or have more questions, drop me a note ( hack2301@uni-trier.de RE: Question ) so that I can then send you the ‘official’ project eMail. We’d really appreciate your help.
Thanks very much in advance!
Best regards,
– Fran
PS: “Come what may” or not, the shot looks great!
