Weekend Challenge - 1 Focal Length Weekend

I know there'll be times when I'll need different focal lengths. It would be a good exercise for a day's photo outing though.

I'm in the same boat as HockeyFan... planning to take photos of the fireworks tomorrow. Might be a little hard to move my tripod to take different shots instead of simply zooming in and out. Will try to stick to the 50mm on Saturday and Sunday though.

I use a lot of primes. I found them actually through indoor action, where zooms just didn't have the capability to catch enough light. After that, I have used the primes a lot on other occasions too.

Between 50mm, 85mm or 135mm would be the decision. A hard one. Or maybe the wide end zoom at a fixed 14mm?

I'm taking the challenge. I use my kit 18-55 alot so I put my 50mm on and went to a fireworks show last night in the park. This is my first time ever shooting fireworks and after reading so many 'how tos' on this site I DID IT! I am soooo hooked, I love this! I'm shooting all weekend with my 50mm that's it!

My attempt with a 50mm 1.8 lens that I have just purchased...

I used my 50mm/f1.8 lens for two days, which also means I had to do manual focus only on my D40x. Since I didn't want to fiddle around with manual focus at the cookout today, I switched to my 18-55.

Ok, I'm a newbie, so go easy on me.

I stuck my 10-22mm lens at the wide end for the entire weekend. Here is the first result, my threesixtyfive for saturday:



We've been shopping for a new bed at IKEA, and succeeded! We now own a new bed that doesn't sag in the middle, and doesn't cost thousands of €€€ either.

If Canon would make a 10mm prime, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
