I was in Windsor yesterday so took the opportunity to fire off a few more shots with my new Nikon 50mm 1.4.

All comments welcome, click on any picture for a larger version. Thanks.

Re: More with the 50/1.4 (Swan alert!)

That 50/1.4 is a lovely lens. The portraits I took with it on Sunday came out pin sharp with lovely creamy bokeh at f1.8. As I said before, I think the bokeh is the main difference between the 50/1.8 and the 50/1.4.

The first shot is good, looks like he's got his flaps down after landing.
