That’s a cool looking straw on a water bottle that my daughter got on her friend’s birthday party – I think it was on her goody bag.

This evening I was wanting to try out my 50mm prime and had this shot against the bright light coming in through the window shade. Used spot metering to get the exposure and manually adjusted until I got the desired result. Since I shot this wide open, the background was totally out of focus.

  1. Very sharp. This is a prime? Is it a macro?

  2. very nice! great dof! you should have joined us is our flickr group when we shot exclusively with primes in may. we’ll do it again before the end of the year. just something to break up the monotony of the 365.

  3. not sure you can tell…but ‘flickr group’ above…is a hyperlink.

  4. I love my 50mm 1.4 it is an amazing lens. Great composition and bokeh (blurred background) Nice job.

  5. Great lighteffect on the straw. the dark outsides, the bright inside :-)

  6. If you hadn’t told me what it was, it would’ve taken a while to figure out. Interesting shape. Nicely presented.

  7. This is super cool, absolutely love this shot!

  8. Beautiful image… I love the color combination and light source.

  9. love these minimalist shots, the muted colours here are lovely, the fact that you can just make out the lines in the window is also kind of intriguingh

  10. I dig the shine, it looks metallic!

  11. So cool! I LOVE the light in this shot!

  12. I like how you lit this Sasi. The 50 has become my favorite lens. I love it!
