There is a reason the call it the nifty fifty. If you have invested in a digital SLR camera and currently only use the kit lens, you should check out the 50mm f1.4. Depending on the brand of your camera, Canon and Nikon both make a great 50mm lens.
If you ask most professional photographers they will all have a 50mm prime lens in their bag! It’s great in low light and the focal length is great for portraits. It’s fast enough for sports and is bright enough for indoor sports. It is reasonably priced from $300 – $400 depending on the store and the brand of lens. If that is out of your price range, check out the 50mm f1.8 which can be purchased for less than $100!

So what does that flower setting stand for?
The flower icon on most digital cameras is the macro setting. The macro setting is used for taking better detail pictures or things cose up. For instance, you might want to take a picture of your engagement ring or some tiny baby hands or even a flower.
Say you turn on your camera to take a close up picture and it comes out blurry, or it focuses on something in the distance, or won’t lock focus at all. This is the perfect opportunity to try out your macro setting. Ideally, the macro setting allows you to focus on objects at close distances to reveal better detail.
For the best results, hold your camera very still and you may need to turn off your flash if it washes out your image. Watch your LCD screen to make sure your focus is actually locking the object you are photographing.
Using my Olympus Point and shoot camera I set the camera to Auto and tried to take a picture of a pink highlighter on the kitchen counter…
Then I set the camera to macro and turned off the flash… Voila!
