New Lens.

For Christmas, my husband gave me a very fun pre-paid VISA card to do a little shopping. Yesterday, I went and spent it on this:











I just love this lens! It is the one that Ali Edwards swears by, and I always love the effects of her candid photos. This lens allow you to hone in sharply on your focal point while blurring everything in the background. EDITED: IT IS AN f1.8 Canon lens, and I use it on my Canon Digital Rebel xTi, though I think it is compatible with all Canon digital SLR cameras. I played with it today during our zoo outing, and I captured some of these images. Like this "what looks like a flying fish"....

























And this is a shot of my daughter that I took last night after she was finished looking at her scrapbook:
