My elbows "on the fence"I am a bit sick of saying, I have been so busy... because I seem to want to start to say that on all my posts. So instead, I will just let you know that I am squeezing in this click entry for Jai and Bee before the upcoming deadline ahead of two other posts in my forever drafts folder.
I have a Nikon D50 which I absolutely adore. I primarily use my fixed $100.00 50mm F1.8 Prime lens on the D50 for all my food photography as well as indoor portraiture/pictures of my kids. The problem is that although its 50mm I don't find it very wide on my DSLR and recently found out about the 35mm Fixed Nikkor F2.0 lens.
So I went to a local camera store and rented a 35mm lens for 1 day ($15.00!) to see if it was worth buying new glass for almost $350.00 ( i just wanted to sound like a camera geek by saying "glass" :), I am a true nerd. No expert on lens, glass or anything else!).
I shot the above click entry using my rented 35mm Lens and so far I am loving the greater distance I am able to capture with the wider lens. (for those of you who don't know, smaller the number on the lens, the wider coverage of area you can shoot, I didn't know this till recently either, tells you what an amateur I am). I am excited to try it out over the thanksgiving holiday and see if I can beg DH for a new lens for Christmas. Yes, Jai & Bee, I have read all the articles about how its not the camera but the photographer. :)
So everyone, happy belated diwali, happy thanksgiving! Eat lots, take lots of photos and have a nice holiday.

Great entry with that picture:))
apt name for the pic....innovative
i cringe whenever someone starts talking abt mm and lens;) i am happy with my small cam as of now. but u made me think abt wide lens.
that pic is awesome archana... i just loved the contrast of fence and pasta...
Archana!!
Thats one good looking picture i would say!! really superb, And archana i already started begging Rocky to invest on a new camera for me!! I know what he would say?? not again as i bought the other one just few months back!! he he!!
I loved the name of the post and good entry
350 bucks? that's it? canon 'glasses' are bloody expensive - way more than 350. nikon takes great pix. maybe i should switch - let j have his canon and get me a nikon. i just saw a 50 mm 1.2/f for over 1000 dollars. lovely entry.
bee
Looks pic of elbows
Excellent entry.My vote for you already!! Beautiful photo!:))
Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy.
You've done a great job with that picture! I love the contrast of the smooth macaroni with the roughness of the fence post - very clever!
Oh, I love the Nikon too. I rapidly escalated from an awesome Pentax point'n'shoot digital to the Nikon D70 for my food pix - and I'm absolutely loving it!
my vote is for u!!
Love your elbows on the fence! Yes, I love my wide angle lens even tho I use my true macro for most food photography.
Very creative entry dear.
