Default First portraits with the new plastic 50mm

I got a chance to get some candid portraits with my new plastic 50mm. It works pretty well I think! Luckily, my subject was a very photogenic baby girl at my wife's niece's daughter’s 2nd birthday party.

This second one is my favorite of the bunch!

Thanks for taking time to check these out!

Yes the benefit of 50mm - creates good depth of field - great shots, Cheers, Bernz

Great shots. I use my 50mm f1.8 almost exclusively now. I just love the DoF I can get with it.

Thanks Heaterguy, I like it very much. The only downside is it makes you move around a lot more than say a 28-135!
