New Lens and Portrait Shoot

Photography is revealing parts of me I didn't know existed. Not only am I turning my hobby into a skill and (hopefully and eventually) a profession, it's giving me the ability to connect with myself and my family. It's like having something inside that comes out under perfect circumstances like a blooming flower that looks neutral as a bud but suddenly reveals stunning colour and shape. That's photography for me.

Today I was fortunate enough to photograph my Sister-in-law and Brother-in-law, I've known them since before they got married and they haven't had any photos as a couple since their beautiful wedding. I was particularly excited because yesterday I purchased a new lens for my kit, a Nikkor 50mm 1.4D, I was incredibly keen to try it and it didn't disappoint. I can't share the images but I took a few random shots on low aperture while we were kicking around North Head.
