Awesome Bokeh!

A couple weeks ago, I got to take pictures at the LDS Portland Temple and a wedding reception of one of the Young Women I taught about 7 years ago! I was very excited and very nervous - doing wedding pictures is a BIG deal. I didn't want to screw them up. I thought it would be fun to rent a lens or two to make the pictures even better and I found the one I want to use the $$ I made from that day. It's the Canon fixed 85mm f/1.8 lens and these are a few pictures I took of Angela with it. I just love the bokeh (the blur in the background - I am a photography nerd) that this lens creates. It is so nice for portraits. It was a ton of fun to use at the wedding, as was the $1700, 70 -200 f/2.8L lens!(FYI - more expensive than my camera) That one will take a while longer to save up for! And the wide angle 10-22 mm lens was awesome. Another one I'll have to save up for! Drat - I need about $20,000 to get all the photography toys I want. Maybe I could win the lottery. I'll post a few pics from the wedding later...
