Footprint

Sorry for the hiatus! I've spent the last couple of evenings playing with Boot Camp, which hasn't left any time for posting photos. The novelty of running Windows on my Macbook Pro has already just about worn off. I won't be booting into it on a regular basis. But the unexpected prospect of being able to play Caesar IV and Dreamfall, sequels to two of my favourite games of all time, makes me very happy. :)

Anyway, to today's photo. This is my daughter's footprint, in the sand on Frenchman's Bay, Treasure Beach, Jamaica. This was one of the many keepers from a day I spent shooting with only my 50mm prime. It's funny how being restricted to the single focal length can really help your composition and your eye for a good shot.

Oh, and look how sharp this photo is - at f/5.6! This is another great thing about a fast lens like this: at f/5.6 you're already at the sweet spot. The Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 is amazing, and costs under €100.

Details: Nikon D70, 50mm, f/5.6, 1/40, ISO 200. Frenchman's Bay, Jamaica. 21 February, 2006, 6.20pm. Placemark.
