....well, not really night, but you get the picture.
It was a dark and rainy afternoon.

1/30 F9 ISO 400


I went looking for someplace to try out a Nikkor 50mm 1.8 AF.
This place looked perfect, and it was out of the rain.

1/160 F5.6


I locked the lens down to 1.8 to have some fun.
Lots of other photographers were trying to stay dry today.
Look at the size of the lens on that......nevermind.

1/320 F1.8


Stealth photo....through the bushes...love that depth of field.
It really was pretty dark in there. This lens is fun.

1/320 F1.8


No tripods allowed today, so everything was handheld.
The flowers were beautiful.

1/180 F1.8



1/160 F1.8



1/100 F1.8



1/180 F1.8



1/200 F1.8


These are from a different wing. I set the camera on AUTO.

1/80 F4.5


I love this one!

1/30 F2.8
I wish I had left the setting at F1.8


The next "Tripod & Easel Day" is April 23rd. I'll be there early and bring my lunch.

I love this lens. It took a little more work to frame the pictures than I'm accustomed to,
but was worth the effort for the F1.8
I want something even closer....like 30mm.
