Home today. Woke up earlier around 8:30 or so but lamped in bed for a half hour again. Got up, got ready, had half a sandwich for breakfast. Spent most of the day alternating between writing my history final essay (yes! I got the rough draft done!) and watching S3 of Legend of Korra, the season with the Red Lotus. Around 12 to 1 I was outside walking, to try and get myself a break, and to do a little photowalk with my FD 28mm. Suffice to say I think I do prefer 50mm primes. Subject clarity is much easier on them, and something about the way the subject fills the frame on 28mm seems almost familiar to me. Which makes sense since my phone camera is quite wide also, and I know that "wide look". What was interesting to me shooting with the 28mm was how much of the scene it took in. I would frame my subject thinking I would capture 80% of my own vision out to the peripheral edges, but it actually captures more like 100%, (maybe 115%, depending on the subject, and my glasses of course). It makes everything look like a landscape photograph, even in the vertical portrait orientation. That was both very cool and very challenging since I kind of struggled to fill the frame. I either felt like I had too little subjects / objects / background, or too much.
