Welcome!

This is my blog for Tom Houston Photography. My aim here is to help share knowledge. I have been fortunate enough to know some very smart and helpful photographers who have helped me a lot with my photography. This blog is how I want to return the favour, give back and help out others.

I hope you enjoy,

Update: 50mm f/1.4 D

I have been using the 50mm f/1.4 D a lot lately for portraits.  It is definitely growing on me from my last three shoots.  It is a great lens that lets you see each eyelash on 100% crops.  I have noticed colours can be a little off when shooting into the sun but that is normal.

From the quality of the portraits I took with the 50mm f/1.4 D, I am thinking of looking into the 85mm f1.4 D.  I love the bokeh of the 50mm f1.4 D however I know the 85mm is the lens to get for bokeh and portraits.

I am trying to get more creative with photo shoots than just beauty shots now.  Not that I don't like what I have done so far, I just want to try to keep getting better.  I took two photos lately that I really like that I think have a little more depth than some of my other portraits.

I just thought I would write an update about the 50mm.  It is a very good lens and I am very happy with it.
