Pomegranate Wreath for Fall
f/1.7 – 1/800 sec – ISO 400 – Focal Length 50 mm
This wreath was hanging on the door of the original El Charro Restaurant in Tucson, AZ. El Charro has been a part of Tucson since the 1920s and now has 4 locations including the one where this wreath hangs on Court Ave in downtown. I captured this image with my new (to-me) Minolta 50 mm f/1.7 prime lens on my first full day of shooting with it. I love this lens! I have almost been converted to a prime lens only user after shooting all day without switching to any of my zoom lenses and being very happy with the results. I might have to start looking for a prime telephoto soon.

Very nice color and focus. Hoping to get my own 50mm prime soon. I know my camera is capable of getting much better photos than I’m currently getting with the crap zoom that came with it, so I’m really looking forward to it.

Thanks Alex,
I am amazed by this lens. It was well worth the investment (which wasn’t too much since I bought it used – pre-owned :) off of craigslist). You should definitely get one.
BTW – I have been reading your blog for a while now and you have some great photography.
Mike
