Lens Review: Canon 50mm f1.8 STM

http://ift.tt/2vMiQ2U The Canon 50mm f1.8 STM is a direct update to the inexpensive standard 50mm f1.8 EF lens. The STM version replaces the standard focusing motor with Canon's stepping motor technology. This has a smoother, quieter auto focus performance. A underlying difference to the previous version of this lens, build quality is good, with high quality plastics used for the lens barrel and a metal bayonet. Despite the higher build quality, this optic still only weighs 160g. ![color81.JPG](http://ift.tt/2uB1vLt) My favourite part of this lens is the amazing Bokeh you can get. The high f stop of 1.8 is so good for them blurry backgrounds but is also amazing in low light situations. I took the lens out with my Canon 100d DSLR to the streets to test it in a street photography environment. This is a real test for the auto focus. ![color57.JPG](http://ift.tt/2vM3wmR) If you followed my instagram you'd know I'm a Black and White photo fanatic and B&W street photography i

Learn to draw with friends - Process Post

Learning to draw has always been something i've wanted to do and never really took the time to do it... Then i cam across the Learn to draw with friends challenge. This caught my eye and I thought hey i'll give it a go. Now i dont own any colour pencils unfortunately, so I have had to submit the line drawing of Mario in pencil which is a shame as I'd love to had a go at colouring with pencils. It all starts with an empty canvas... (or paper in this case hahah) ![DSC00003.JPG](http://ift.tt/2vH5GUw) So, I started with the head. ![DSC00004.JPG](http://ift.tt/2uvBopc) Next step was the hands and arms and top of the body. I always struggle with hands even though Marios are in a closed fist i still struggled. (Lots of rubbing out) ![DSC00005.JPG](http://ift.tt/2vGSTl9) Almost there now but again feet/shoes are another one i struggle with so took numerous attempts to get this shoe right hahah ![DSC00006.JPG](http://ift.tt/2uvjp2g) And here it is the finished pencil drawn Mario :)

Photography Tutorial #1 - Waterfalls

Hi there Steemians. This is the first of what will hopefully be a series of posts about my photography techniques. If you appreciate what I am doing, please upvote and re-steem so that I am encouraged to do more. ![IMG_4148.jpg](http://ift.tt/2tw1HsD) *Kvernufoss* *_I find waterfalls intriguing_*. They can range from the ethereal to downright terrifying in their power. There are limitless variations in height, width, the number of falls and surrounding interest, which makes photographing them a challenge, albeit a fun challenge. In this article, I am going to describe my approach to photographing these wonderful natural phenomena. Of course, there will be people who photograph them differently to me, but as with all photography, there are a million different ways to skin a cat and get a satisfactory outcome, and this is mine. #### Slow or fast The first thing that I would normally do when approaching a waterfall photograph is determined by how I want the final image to reflect the wa

Who is a photographer?

I would like to start this post posing a question: ![e.png](http://ift.tt/2uEiVaR) A very broad question I know… ![1EDITED.png](http://ift.tt/2tkVyzo) Now many people would answer that question believing a photographer is someone who does it for a living, as a career. But I disagree! Photography is an art, it is also a creative means to express yourself. Photography is so much more than the final product, so much more than how many likes your instagram post gets, so much more than earning money. Photography is my get away, it is my escape from everything and chance to create something new. Whether it be a landscape, a building or my favourite street photography; taking the photos should mean something to you. What I’m try to get to is that more people should get out there and take pictures. You don’t need fancy cameras and hitech gear. Hell, you could even just use your phone. Don’t worry about if your instagram followers will like it.... Take some pictures for you! ![ssd.png](http

Daily Eating Blog #12

Breakfast this morning was my usual black coffee, weetabix, Greek yoghurt, strawberries, blueberries and half a banana and a hydration sports drink. ![IMG_7167.JPG](http://ift.tt/2uawdJv) Lunch was provided by work as we had a meeting so not healthy; 3 mini pastries, 3 small sandwiches, couple of chipolatas, mini spring rolls and some chips with a pint of Diet Coke. I drank my 1 litre bottle of water whist at work. Dinner was 3 sausages, mashed potato and baked beans followed by sticky toffee pudding and custard and a can of lager. During the evening I drank a 1and a half litre bottle of water. Sorry only one photo today as been busy at work then I was babysitting my little granddaughter. Forgot to take them.

Daily Photo - Robin! πŸ“·

I'm picking this lovely silhouette image of a robin I took. The reason I love this shot so much is I waited silently for about 10 minutes for this robin to finally settle and then bam got the shot. Getting out in the countryside is another reason I love taking photos! ![1EDITED_11.JPG](http://ift.tt/2uaxamX) Click here for more... from #Bangladesh #News aka Bangladesh News Now!!!

Norwich Street Photography Vlog

Norwich Street Photography Last week I ventured out into my local city Norwich on a photography mission. My mission was to find some interesting shots of people. It was an amazing day out and I learnt so much from the experience. I made a vlog of the day to share with you so hopefully you enjoy :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8hLOTLwuvw Click here for more... from #Bangladesh #News aka Bangladesh News Now!!!

Daily Photo - Waterfall πŸ“·

This is one my favourite pictures I've ever taken. I was at CenterParcs last year and I had just purchased my ND filter, so I gave long exposure a go and this was the result. ![1EDITED_37.JPG](http://ift.tt/2uv4uWr) Click here for more... from #Bangladesh #News aka Bangladesh News Now!!!

Daily Photo - Blue Skies πŸ“·

So today's picture I wanted to show some colour! I find almost all photos I take now are monochrome so here is a shot full of colour!!! I took my girlfriend out with her camera I bought her to teach her some photography, I took the chance to grab a shot of her while she was composing the boats on the lake. ![1.png](http://ift.tt/2t4klHY) Click here for more... from #Bangladesh #News aka Bangladesh News Now!!!

Daily Eating Blog #9

This was breakfast today as I was running parkrun so can't eat anything else beforehand. ![IMG_4829.JPG](http://ift.tt/2um4mIZ) A banana and a rehydration sports drink. After my run I drank a chocolate protein drink. ![IMG_4830.JPG](http://ift.tt/2t2Eiyz) Lunch was healthy, plenty of protein. A salad with three hard boiled eggs and coleslaw. Afterwards I had two pineapple rings. ![IMG_4831.JPG](http://ift.tt/2umbe9b) As we were having dinner quite late I was naughty and binged on two packets of mini cheddars. I'm annoyed at myself for doing this as I was trying to be good but I was so hungry. I spent the afternoon cooking a roast dinner as we don't get one very often as myself or my husband aren't at home long enough to cook one. We had roast pork with cider gravy, roast potatoes, roast parsnips and veg. I treated myself to a can of lager as it's Saturday evening. ![IMG_4832.JPG](http://ift.tt/2t2nHel) I only ate half my roast as I never really fancy it after standi

Guess what day it is!!!

Parkrunday ![IMG_0785.JPG](http://ift.tt/2vodFVy) Today is my favourite day of the week. Parkrunday (Saturday for all you non runners). I get up early so I can get a coffee and a banana in before I run. It's not till 9am but I can't run after I eat so I need to give it a couple of hours. I have a pb (personal best) of 25.05 although most of the time I tend run a lot slower than that, I can't seem to get anywhere near that time, I have no idea how I ran that fast! I would love to run a sub 25, that is my goal for this year. Today I am sporting new trainers. The ones I've been running in don't seem to suit me, I've had a lot of aches and pains since wearing them so I've gone back to the original type I used to run in. I hope these help, hopefully I'll have a good run but I'm not holding my breath as I probably need to wear them in first. ![IMG_7133.JPG](http://ift.tt/2upKVP8) ![IMG_7134.JPG](http://ift.tt/2vo24Wz) Wish me luck If you want to find out

Norwich Street Photography Mission #01

Norwich Street Photography #01 This morning I woke up nice and early ready for a quick trip out to my closest city Norwich. My aim of todays missions was people, I want to get in and up close and get some interesting characters. For that reason I decided to take my point and shoot camera. The Sony WX500 This is by no means a pro camera and actually the quailty of the camera is not that good but for me street photography is all about the composition and the story the picture tells. People are so interesting and you can really see people personalities in the pictures, here goes here are some of the keepers from this mornings shoot. This is my Favourite shot of the day, I just loved the graffiti in this run down alley way and I actually waited here and failed many times on other subjects before nailing this one! ![DSC00205.JPG](http://ift.tt/2t5NEc6) I started my day with a check mirror selfie hahha ![DSC00002.JPG](http://ift.tt/2tAb24W) The I got out to the city! ![DSC00027.JPG](http
