Gretchen Blair's Photography

Hmmmm... I wanted a way to try to document my growth in photography this year... primarily as a gauge to myself. Last week I got a new lens. It is a Cannon 55mm f1.8-22. The cool part is that with an f 1.8 you get a really shallow depth of field which I love. The problem is at 1.8 the depth of field is too shallow to take pictures of squirmy kids. Most of my recent pictures have an unintended area as the source of the focus. Oh well... This is all about learning.
