neocube

i didn't think twice about taking my slr and lenses to south america when i made my mind up about travelling. i'm a little concerned about the safety of them, i know they'll be a lot more likely to get broken or stolen compared to at home, but what can you do about? in that spirit i bought another lens the other day: a 50mm f1.8 prime. i was watching a documentary that had some amazing looking portrait shots and that sold it to me. it wasn't too costly, so i managed to justify the expense in my head. annoyingly when i got hold of it i discovered that the auto focus feature works on all nikons' apart from mine. this could be an issue as it has such a shallow depth of field, but i think it might lead to some interesting results.

this is my first shot with it, and you can see what i mean about the depth of field - this neocube is only a couple of centimetres cubed. incidentally i bought this neocube purely based on a post from a different photoblog. detour wrote about it almost two years ago, and i thought it looked too cool not to have. i was right - it's awesome.
