a visit to the magical island of Crete. travel photography

a decision to utilise the cameras I have and to travel light I opted for the Canon 5d MK2
+50 mm lens.

It's the basic set up. We used to have only 50mm lenses with our nikon/canon film cameras. So it sort of a TBT.
I often say it's the only lens you really need. If you want landscape - you go far, if you want a portrait - you come closer.
Simple.

Also - you have no noticeable lens distortion, it's very clear and silent.


 I loved visiting Crete for the third time.
Every time I discover something a bit different .
Beaches, landscapes, sunsets, ancient ruins, old villages, old people
Olive oil, clear water in the sea.

The light, the light in the morning and in the evening is simply magical .

50mm

50 mm
full frame

that's the only lens you really need.
it makes your Dslr compact and efficient while travelling, it reproduces more or less what your eyes normally see.
you want to zoom in ? come closer
perhaps a wide over view ? take a few steps back, as you would with your real vision.

until they make us into cyborg, and replace our biological eyes with smart cameras, we are seeing about 42°.

it used to be the real "kit lens" of the analog age.
you buy a nikon F2 - get a great 50mm with it.

unless you're shooting extreem architectural shots, or landscape, you don't need anything shorter.
it has little if any distortion, durable and easy to use. and it can be fast. very fast.

You can produce stunning images with a good old fixed lens. Better for some video work even.



I have a few 50mm.
even the cheaper ones from canon are getting me excellent result, and the better, analog nikon one (with adaptor) produces exquisite result.
