Ever since I joined this local photography club, f-stop Reno, I’ve been trying to learn a bit more about photography. I’m having a good time, but progress is being slowed down by my lack of artistic training, and a limited budget.
However, I just got a new lens, a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II, which should help me learn more about composition instead of distracting me zooming and all that fun stuff. From what I’ve read, with this lens I should be able to take better pictures in low light enviroments, and will also be much better at freezing fast moving objects, so that it can be used for some basic sports photography.
I’m not too afraid to confess that I’m excited about owning a new piece of equipment for my little camera. It’s sort of techy, geeky and artsy, so no one can complain too much. 
As a side note, I bought my lens through Amazon, and when I paid it said it’d take about 12 days to get here. It was here 4 days later, with super saver shipping. Awesome!
