Katrina got me a new lens for my camera for Father’s Day. I absolutely love it! It’s a 70-300mm lense made for taking close up photos. It has almost 4 times the “zoom” of my current 28-80mm lens. The main reason I wanted it no so much for the zoom, but to be able to take pictures at poorly lit events. At both Jeanette’s concert and the rodeo we went to a lot of the pictures turned out blurry. That’s because when you zoom in, you’re not taking in as much light so the shutter needs to say open longer. When you’re taking a picture of something that’s moving, this causes pictures to turn out blurry. This is a wider lense that can take in more light and take the same picture in less than half the time. I haven’t been to any other indoor events to try it out yet, but I did play with it some last weekend. Here’s two pics I got.
