Take the “One Lens Challenge” Will be back with some pics later!
(http://www.ephotozine.com/article/take-a-one-lens-challenge-this-january-13484 ). Using one camera and one lens was definitely a challenge for me. Any lens will do, but I suggest choosing one you don’t use often. If you choose a zoom, stick to only one focal length - no fair using the zoom! You will rediscover how f-stops, ISO and shutter speed relate to each other and the lens you choose. This exercise can affect your reaction time (because you’ve come to “know” the lens), improve posture (??!!), improve the technical quality of your photos, make you more creative, and….5 more important considerations found in this article: ( http://www.photoventure.com/2014/04/18/9-reasons-you-only-need-one-camera-and-one-lens/ )

I chose to use my 18-55 mm “kit lens” - a lens I seldom use. I chose 55mm for my focal length. Tell us what lens you chose, why and your focal length. Sounds easy, right? I found this was also an exercise in “self discipline” to maintain that focal length; I wanted to zoom.

Have fun, shoot, show and discover the qualities and limitations of your chosen lens. Cropping and Post Production editing is allowed - just tell us if you did either.

Thank you Mom of 2 for the great job in hosting "Macro and Close-uo" Some super shots and a great hostess.
