Hannah @ 50mm – Part 2

Posted on    by

The 35mm f1.8D was taken out for a spin last weekend. This weekend, it was the 50mm f1.8D’s turn. I shot a whole bunch of pictures of Hannah wide-open, and as before, at f1.8 pictures were a little soft. Sigh. When stopped down to f2.8, things improved quite a bit, though wide-open my 50mm just can’t match the 35mm in center sharpness.

At our family home in Lentor. Hannah can bite off an apple now – a new achievement that Ling observed on Saturday. Shot at ISO800, f1.8, 1/160s. The picture was a little soft at this aperture.

Back at home, and at ISO1600, f2.8, 1/125s. Much better image sharpness.

Our girl is just about 2 months away from turning three. We’ve just finally taught her to say out loud how old we each are at home; i.e. “Hannah is two and a half years old. Daddy is 40 years old. Mommy is 37 years old!” Just a month ago, she was saying “Mommy is 70 years old” – and Ling would turn white at it.=)
