3-5 are not showing up.

The 50mm is know for its speed and shallow depth of field. its also a $100 lens so extremely cheap

i took this with my 50mm.

it was pretty dark/cloudy out that day as well.

basically because the stock sony lens is pretty 'meh' imo.

here are 2 50mm shots that i took. notice the shallow depth of field

In this shot notice the fingerprint (just the very tip of her finger is in focus (i have to re-edit this picture i think i can get more detail out of it)

Dante, you're definately improving man! It seems like you have a pretty good grasp of some of the basics. Have you ever considered taking a class? Your gal is a cutie, too. haha

Wow man that fingerprint pics is awesome as is the man. I am asking my gf for the Canon 50mm lens for xmas since its right at $100 on Amazon!! And Thanks insulin for the comments and my gf is awesome haha! I would love to take a class however with my schedule, it would not really fit in. However I have found a few sites dedicated to my camera and have been practicing and reading any chance I get. Also I have shot almost all my pics for the past few days in Av mode and my goal is to try and master that mode completely before I than try the Tv(shutter) modes etc. Also I will shoot some with auto iso and than I will retake it what I think is the right ISO just to try and grasp what you need to do in what lighting situation. It is a blast haha
