Day 180: Remote

My New Nikon AF NIKKOR 50mm 1:1.8D Lens came in today! I would like to thank my various relatives who gave me money for my birthday for contributing to the new lens, as well as a spare battery for my D80. I took a whole lot of pictures to day. I kept 304 of them, so I probably took about 400, considering how many pointless pictures I delete when I'm shuttering randomly. I really enjoyed my day, day 3 of my effort to completely rotate my body clock. I woke up at 2:45PM, and plan to go to sleep at around 7:30AM tonight...er...this morning. As i write this it is 3:50AM July 10th, but this was taken on the 9th. I'm not really drowsy so I figure it's time to post eh? This was taken of our Tivo remove upstairs. I resisted the temptation to edit it in any way, it is not even cropped, just resized. I chose it due to the fact that it shows off the whole f/1.8 part of the lens which means EXTREMELY shallow Depth Of Field (area that is in focus)and it is very fast (lets in a lot more light, faster shutter times). As you can see both sides of the remote are blurred, and really only the select button is in focus. I love the calm, smooth background. If that was in focus you would see a sliding glass door, but because of the beautiful bokeh of this lens, you see only a nice highlight in the background. I'm loving' it so far, and I can now say that i have spent a whole day without zooming one bit! 50mm all the way Oh, and the cool thing about the 50mm lens for my D80 is that if you look through the viewfinder and keep the other eye open, the images match up, making it look like your covering everything but the frame in your left eye. That only happens at 50mm from what I can tell. Pretty cool if you ask me.
