Summer is back and the shooting season is about to start again after the « Noémie » pause… Last long weekend and especially last Whit Monday, which was btw the birthday of my lovely wife, was a great occasion to « go back to basics ».
I am indeed using my 35mm 1.4L and my 85mm 1.2L a lot. I just love them !!! But when you´re doing a portrait session or are shooting a wedding it always good to remember what are all your possibilities. So I decided to back to my old and faithful 50mm 1.4. Back to the basics as I started to take photography seriously with that lens (still on my 350d three years ago). I can remember the day I entered the camera store having received a few days ago my first paycheck of my new job in the Hague. I wanted to celebrate it by buying my first prime lens ever. 10 minutes later I was the proud owner of a canon 50 mm 1.4. It was the beginning of a long journey…

Even if I am more into my 35mm or my 85mm now, I must admit that my 50mm 1.4, which is not a L lens, is still a pretty good one. It’s quite light in comparison to its « L cousins » and delivers great pics. We had fun with it and I hope you like the results.
Have a nice week-end and see you soon for some pretty cool things happening in the coming weeks.
