Lights - 50mm F/1.8 - a photo on Flickriver

Another F/1.8 shot - In my car in a traffic jam! Please view large! Makes all the difference

I have decided to challenge myself after reading an article on Liam Frankland (liamfrankland.com/blog/) who has a project called "this and that" where he shoots everything at 50mm F/1.8. The idea behind the project began as as a way to recapture his "photographic spirit" as he has progressed more towards landscape photography. Basically, when he was younger, he would shoot anything and everything without giving much thought to what he was shooting, and now, by setting some rules (50mm, F/1.8), this style of photography now has a creative purpose. He chose 50mm and F/1.8 because, and I agree, he feels it's his most creative lens as it "reveals elements that are very unique to photography."

This inspired me to try this out. I feel my story is very similar too, as I used to shoot just anything without a thought, only really to document where I was or what I was doing. Then I fell in love with landscape photograph where I could express my love for the outdoors in a creative way... So now it's time to give those shots a purpose again by trying something new! Thanks to DC Mag for the article
