Sigma 50mm f/1.4

Looking down on a dull day

Looking down on a dull day. Shot with the D40 and the 35mm f/1.8 - a great combo. All images treated with the so called Orton effect.

Life starts at f/1.8

I have always loved bright lenses. If money was no issue, all my lenses would have f/1.4 and f/1.8 stamped on them. A few slow ones would be f/2.8, but only the slow ones...
