Most digital SLRs nowadays are purchased as part of a “kit.” With Nikon, you’ll most often see the entry-level SLRs (D90 and below) sold with an 18-50mm “kit lens.” That’s where I started, anyway. But in my opinion, using a zoom lens gets you accustomed to zooming in and out, and not with your feet. It doesn’t force you to frame your world in a particular way, nor does it force you to see your world in terms of a frame. With a zoom lens, there are too many options.
This is my garden. The perspective is totally skewed because I only had the 35mm on me (more like a 50 on my cropped sensor) and so had to resort to some Brenizer Method stitching to show your our little plot. When we arrived on the scene yesterday, the entire left side of this area was just covered in weeds. George and I pulled them and then we set to work planting my little babies that had been sitting on our windowsill.
Just a few images from my travels above and below grounds this week. As the weather heats up, I tend to get out more. I love that summer is coming, even though this and next week are probably the worst for allergies for the entire year for me. I’ve been locking myself up while I wait for it to rain. If the wet stuff falls, then I can walk. In the meantime, here are some images:
