50mm 1.8f + Natural Light = dof & fun
Messing around with my new 50mm on my D3000. So all of these were manual focus. Had some fun for sure just messing around and learning the lens. Some pics of my lizards, some marbles, and just randomness.
Constructive Criticism is welcome, but only if you can say it nicely. If you can't don't bother please. I'm posting up here hope there will be NO DRAMA in my thread. I'd like to know that there are some people on here who can contribute to make me better positively.
Anyway, on with the pics!!
1. Dirty Crystal glass with some marbles
2. Full house?
3. T-Rex (Green Anole)
4. T-Rex being a badass
5. Barky chilling on my phone (Bark Anole)
6. Depth of Field....Nom Nom
7.
8.
9.
10. One of my Favorites
11. Another of my Favorites
12. Phone
13. Big Marble
14. I feel like I may have missed focus by millimeters...
That's all I have for now.

I'm still learning this lens, and it's hard doing it completely manual without a tripod at the moment.

Looks good, work with what you have. Manual focus is what I shoot on all the time, you can't beat it.

You should try adjusting your aperture a little bit so you can get your entire subject in focus (lizards, specifically). Some of them have too little DOF.

I'm also assuming if I had it at 2.8f for the pic of T-Rex from the side, he would've come into focus with the whole body?

some look a tab bit soft.
id also mess with the f# a bit. when i take pics of my hedgehog with the 35mm i can get his whole face in focus at 1.8 but you have to go to 2.8 to get his whole body. also get a tripod. that would help you a lot when manual focusing

I had a tripod, left it in my buddies car when we went to an Auto-X a few months ago. Never got it back. I'm going to order one I've had my eye on from Amazon for a little while now.
