Trying out my new lens,,,

I've never had a decent landscape lens and though I ought to get one before fall gets underway. I went and bought a Nikon 50mm f/1.4 G lens and tried it out on my day off on Tuesday.
It'll take me a little while to figure out the sweet spots on this lens , but I think it'll be a good one.

Of course my boy made for a good subject..

 

Neighbors farm in the fog










Check out this barn - the next road over from me..

Then some other critter shots with my 200-400 lens...









And ole Aflac is still sporting his doo...

Take care
Dave

 

Geez, I absolutely love your posts. Awesome pics! That old barn is pretty cool!

 

Awesome shots! Could have sworn you shot Canon.

 

Those are some great pics! I really like the farm shots.

 

Great stuff, Dave! The second farm in the fog shot is top shelf.

 

Great pictures Dave.

 

Nice shots as always Dave!

I always thought that those 50mm prime lenses were more of a portrait lens than a landscape lens, no? When I think landscapes I usually think something in the 18mm or wider range.

 

Breathtaking, Dave!

 

excellent pics!!

 

Thanks a lot for the comments guys - much appreciated.

Justin - you're probably right , I should have gotten a smaller mm.I already have a 70-200 and a 200-400,but didn't have anything lees than 70mm. I wanted to get the 50 for just an all around lens. I might just go ahead and get a 24mm as well.

 

I know I'll be picking up either a Canon 10-22 or Sigma 10-22 for my WA when ever I get around to it.

 

nice pics and pretty terrain!

 

Looks like your new lens works.....

Great pics as always.

 

Great work, Dave.

That's a booner fawn!

 

Beautiful pictures!
