Cute Niece & Nephews

We got to spend a fun afternoon with family. I was playing with my camera and a new lens, so couldn't resist taking some fun photos of my very cute nieces and nephews.

The new lens has an aperture of 1.4, so I played around shooting wide open quite a bit today. It's a lot more challenging than I thought trying to get exact focus with an aperture that wide! But, the nicely blurred backgrounds more than make up for the challenge!










We're hoping we soon get some real May weather. It's been chilly and very rainy. I don't think we've gone for more then four days without rain for the last month! I'm not sure global warming has come to the midwest.
