Some more portrait photography.

I'm heading to work in like 10 minutes, so don't really have time to post all images seperately, but received my new Canon 50mm f/1.4 on Wednesday and got a chance to play with it yesterday to take more shots of my mum's friend's kids.

Here's a link to my Flickr, the first 12 images are the ones that I took yesterday and chose to upload.

Thanks, Scharf.

I really like the "Lying on the Grass" .. the colours work wonderfully.

some nice pics there and very sharp

how are you finding the lens? how quick is it to focus? i've got the 50 1.8 but it often hunts quite alot before it will focus

It hunts but unless you are in a rush just use manual focus or Use the Canon AF selection
I have the 1.4 too which doesn't tend to hunt and is really a better lens but for overall image quality not by the cost difference between itself and the 1.8

Yeah the lens is brilliant, very quick to focus and extremely sharp. I've been caught out a bit though where i've used it at F1.4 and the DOF has been so shallow only one feature of their face is in focus, and it's not worked out great.

Thanks for the comments guys, Scharf.
