After Thanksgiving I used some of my savings to buy myself a D-SLR camera. I got a new Canon Rebel T2i. After my birthday in February I used some birthday money to get a 50mm f/1.8 fixed lens. I love this lens so much more than my 18-55 mm lens that came with my camera, even though the 50mm is a fixed length, or has no zoom. I like this lens better because it has a wider aperture and so the shots it takes are prettier and more aesthetically pleasing, because they can create the bokeh, or blurred background, affect. These are a few of my newer pictures. I'm pretty sure that they were all taken with the 50mm, except for the one of the moon which I took with my 75-300 telephoto zoom lens.
