Confession: I grumbled about putting on my lens, too and how it was heavier and I didn't want to carry a tripod downtown and it was irritating to have to change back to my 50mm lens when I saw something interesting close by. But, overall, I learned a lot and won't always leave it at home anymore!! Beautiful post and images!! Thanks for the shout out! You're very sweet to mention my blog!Cathy H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10779935742253650385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346935990049787898.post-4034232714321596272015-08-31T20:30:58.433-04:002015-08-31T20:30:58.433-04:00No matter what lens you use your photos are always...No matter what lens you use your photos are always interesting and so well done.

I think we all get comfortable with a favorite lens or two and it's good to mix things up a bit. Your photographs isolate the subjects beautifully here. I LOVE my telephoto lens (70-200 with a constant 2.8 aperture) and use it about half the time I shoot. I've had to go in the opposite direction of you and teach myself to shoot wider to bring in more of the background. It's a dance- when the background helps to tell the story with rich detail and when the subject needs to stand alone. Thanks for this thoughtful post, Sarah!Donna Hopkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03102284065955298362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346935990049787898.post-34777629027196110582015-08-30T06:45:35.423-04:002015-08-30T06:45:35.423-04:00Wonderful work, it is funny how when we change len...Wonderful work, it is funny how when we change lenses we can see new things.

I keep my telephoto lens on both my cameras but now I see I am limiting myself. It's time to get out different lens.

My 70-300 on the other hand is almost always included for outings (especially sporting / golf). I recently got an 18-250 which gives me the best of two worlds. As for my 'nifty-fifty', it hasn't seen the light of day in ????

Mine lives on my camera and I use it for amazing bokeh backgrounds. I mainly shoot nature, so I leave it on f8 or 9 and get amazing backgrounds when I shoot birds, butterflies, insects, or flowers, and they only have to be a couple of yards away to use it. I hope you play around with the lens and learn to enjoy it more.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18120645265907870606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346935990049787898.post-46937506699494279292015-08-29T14:44:07.799-04:002015-08-29T14:44:07.799-04:00So fun changing lenses and seeing things with a ne...So fun changing lenses and seeing things with a new perspective. I love my 70/200 lens and also my 600 mm. It really brings things in to focus that I would not be noticing without it. Probably one of the reasons that I am about to have this shoulder surgery though. Love your shots Sarah. Oh and I bought that book by David Duchemin. You inspired me. and thanks for the heads upJeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08282631333469688624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346935990049787898.post-38745140127908279442015-08-29T13:06:22.104-04:002015-08-29T13:06:22.104-04:00So good to learn new things, Sarah.

Often the only time I use the 55-200 now is when I can't get close enough to my subjects, like the antelope on the northern Colorado plains. Thanks as always for your insights. Different subject: I'm going to go back and really read your Coffee Shop Chronicles. I think I'd love to do something like that and visit a new coffee shop each time.Lissa Forbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12536890975354049720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346935990049787898.post-11473622566796046162015-08-29T10:29:25.283-04:002015-08-29T10:29:25.283-04:00I always enjoy your photos . . .

Having only one of the three helps me to see very different things when I walk in some of my usual places. The iPhone is handy ... cause it'll give me a wide view or a macro view if I really feel the need for one of the other lens types. Anyhow - love this. Cause I so enjoy being "led" by my lenses!!Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12067468928499906171noreply@blogger.com
