Nature excursion

I seem to be have been in an abstract and close up mood today.

The only lens I took with me was my 50mm which is an awesome little lens that lets in lots of good light (which is really nice in rainy dark weather) and is really good for doing close-ups and making really shallow depths of field... (i.e. focused in part faded to blurry)

It helps to create a cool dreamy effect if thats what your going for.

Being my first weekend and only having had orientation at school, we haven't had any official classes or received our cameras yet, so I'm still having to slump with my little camera. ; )

It has been sprinkling all night and today so I got my umbrella and set off. It started with a farmers market on Main St. then just getting in my car and driving around. The picture of the river is right outside of Turners Falls on a bridge next to some factory and the other two were just out and about.
