My new lens (Nikon Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D AF Lens) arrived in the mail a couple days ago. I had to go pick up Ellie across town at her flute lesson so I took it and my camera in case I arrived early and could try it out. I only had a minute so I took a grand total of one picture with it. This was the result of its first ever use.

A 50mm lens isn’t really a landscape lens, but I think this turned out OK. I cropped the top and bottom off the original to give it more of a panorama feel. I purchased this lens more for low-light photography and concerts. The 50mm, prime lens is tiny and light compared to my 18-200mm lens but not nearly as versatile. I hope to test it out more tomorrow night.
