The 50mm lens is one of the flexible and useful lenses in any photographer’s gear bag. It is neither a wide-angle or telephoto lens, but allows the camera to see on the same scale as your eye. As such, it can be used for a variety of styles, from landscape and street photography to portrait and product photography. In this meetup, we’ll review the basic camera settings. We’ll then cover some of the advantages of shooting with a prime lens, and some basic techniques to using the 50mm lens. As always, there will be ample opportunities for you to put your new knowledge into practice.

Title or Location: Come, Everyone Who Thirsts
I started this piece sitting in the hospital waiting room, waiting on a friend. I was contemplating those in unfortunate circumstances and in need of hope, and I was reminded of this passage in Isaiah 55:1-3 in the Bible. I often combine my love for watercolor and lettering with my contemplations of what I read, painting in my Interleaved journal Bible.

Title or Location: Elephant
I drew this in white and gray color pencil on black card stock. The reference was a photograph on Penterest (no photographer listed). I love doing what I refer to as shadow drawings for several reasons. One being that I can express myself artistically without tiring my arthritic hands. ( I?m 82) and another being it induces the viewer to use thir imagination!

Title or Location: Owl
I?ve always sketched, mostly animals and attempts at portraits of people, which have always been hit or miss. I?ve recently taken up woodburning and some of the animals and other things I?ve done with that medium are among my favorites. Currently, I?m working on incorporating epoxy to some of the burns and after some learning curves, figuring it out.

Title or Location: A Place to Breathe
I wanted to create a place of tranquility and quiet. A retreat into nature where you can take a moment to breathe. There is a hush over the valley. The storm is over and the water quietly continues on its way much as it has always done. It is here I invite you to stay for a moment or two and rest.

Title or Location: Charlie Fox
In this painting I wanted to convey the intensity of the fox's stare - that something has caught his eye and he is standing perfectly still watching it! I am always intrigued with how light hits a subject - this is why I love using oil paints as you can get such a depth of colour (I layer up the colours) and then the last few brushstrokes are the highlights and that is when the magic happens!

Title or Location: Lucy
This is Lucy, one of our favorite family dogs. She is the sweetest pooch and loves to ride in the car, windows opened. She is in her glory as her ears catch the wind and almost smiles. I tried to capture her wonderful nature in this watercolor painting. I used very heavy pigment to give detail to her fur. I so love the many styles watercolor allows you to create. It is one of my favorite paintings because, I Love Lucy:)

Title or Location: Adventure Awaits
This scene is from an early morning boat ride in New Hampshire - we had been here a couple of times over the last few years. It was so quiet and the water so still . The early morning fog had not lifted and people were still not stirring. I snapped a photo when I saw this scene with the colorful leaves framing the waiting boats. I knew I would paint this one day. It?s a 24 x 30 gallery wrapped oil painting. It can be seen at the Elizabethan Gallery.
