My new little toy!

Lately I've been jealous of the fabulous food photos I see on different blogs. I know, that's really weird! I for some reason take lots of pictures of food. Whether I'm cooking or in a restaurant. I also have always loved photographing flowers. Close up. Well, a macro lens is totally out of my price range forever so I bought this fun little 50mm...

Nikkor AF-S 50mm f/1.8G

It's going to give me a really nice background blur. Here's a flower pic I took with it this morning.

I'm really hoping to have time this summer to learn how to use my camera without it being in auto mode! Seriously, I haven't even scratched the surface of it's capabilities :(
