After the postal strike and an annoying wait, the 'nifty fifty' has arrived. Quick play this afternoon, takes a fair bit more concentration to be framing correctly as well as focussing correctly, but will get there soon!

The cat was on top of the table, so in a good place for experimentation.

Must be blummin' sunny where you are to blow the highlights at 1/4000th Alex! Hard to avoid with such colour variation though. Looks to be spot on in terms of focus, which aint always easy at f/1.8. Nice shot.
