Last Sunday I was afforded the opportunity to visit a local orchid greenhouse. I decided to use the chance to take pictures using a lens other than my usual, trusty telephoto lens. I decided to use the 50mm macro lens exclusively and was not disappointed with the results. I used manual settings, opening the shutter as wide as it would go for the shallowest depth-of-field. The bokeh was amazing, giving the images a soft, delicate background.
Here are but a few examples from my greenhouse outing. Some actually look better when zoomed in because of the detail.

I wish all my lenses were as sharp as my nifty 50. Great pictures.
