55mm/f 1.8

you know i bought a dslr (canon rebel) back in december.

you know i love it. and my pictures have been getting better bit by bit.

i took some great advice from my friends bethany, lindsey and bakerella (okay, i wish she was really my friend!)

...i bought this lens three weeks ago and i seriously have no clue why i waited so long! it has made the biggest difference in my food/bloggie photography.

hopefully you'll notice more improvement as i get accustomed to the lens and manual shooting.

Speaking of improvement. I also need to post about my wonderful experience taking Nicole Hill Gerulat's Photo 101 and Food & Tabletops classes. I hope to get that up soon!

You took Nicole's class? So fun! I look at her blog all the time because I used to dance with her when we were younger! Anyway, I bet it was great!
