star lily, Canon 300D
This is the first photo with my beautiful new lens. I am learning that a fixed lens has much better optics! I invested in a portrait lens (85mm) since my great love is portraiture. It creates that wonderful shallow depth of field where the subject is in focus and the background blurs. I look forward to sharing more of my adventures with this guy.
On this blog you’ll be learning with me how to use our voices, share our creative superpowers and live life in full color.
As an artist, photographer, life coach + mentor, I’m redefining what it means to be a SUPERHERO — ‘cause in my world, it’s got nothing to do with capes, spandex or sidekicks and everything to do with tenderness, intuition & baby steps of bravery.

I bought nailpolish this color yesterday because of this photo–

I’ve been using Canon AF gear for about 8 years now and the 85 has been a constant in my lens collection. While it’s a great portrait and general subject lens, it doesn’t focus particularly close. Not a huge problem for a giant bloom like a stargazer, but it leaves me wanting a 250D for anything smaller. Make sure (if you haven’t already) you invest in the hood. That big front element can collect lots of contrast-robbing stray light.
