still life # 13 ~ slice of life
Sunflower and gourds • click to embiggenSo I've been screwing around, photography-wise, for a couple of weeks now with my new 25mm f2.8 lens. In fact, it hasn't been off of my camera since I got it.
Considering that 90% or more of my picturing over the past 2-3 years has been done with a 11-22mm lens, I have had no trouble at all "seeing" with a much reduced field of view. Picturing with a normal-ish lens is what I did in my 8×10 view camera days and that MO seems to have come back to me somewhat intuitively.
My only dis-satisfaction with the lens is that I would like even more narrow DOF than its 2.8 aperture creates. Sigma makes a 24mm f1.8 lens that would probably deliver the look I am striving for .... although, I'll be perfectly honest - I'm not exactly certain what it is that I want to accomplish with this narrow DOF stuff.
I think it has something to do with "mystery".
