<\/a><\/p>\nI went in for the first time about a week ago and just loved the experience. The kids were all so well behaved and adorable. I watched them go through their morning routine of coloring, hearing morning announcements (some by one of the students which was really cute), the Pledge of Allegiance and a few songs they sing as a group to get the day started. There’s something about being back in a elementary school that just takes you all the way back to when you were there. It was pretty amazing. I couldn’t stop smiling the entire time I was there.<\/p>\n
My usual go-to lens is a 24-105\/4.0 lens<\/a> because it covers just about everything I need. However it’s not a very fast lens, and I wanted to push myself to physically move closer or further away to get the shot that I wanted. So instead I used a 85mm\/1.4 prime lens<\/a> and am very happy with the results. This is a very inexpensive lens but really captures great images.<\/p>\n As much as I would love to share all of the photos (I had several really great ones) I can really only share the couple that I have of Andrew and one that you can’t see any faces in. Many parents are sensitive about photos of their children, especially on the internet and I want to respect that. However, I’m perfectly willing to exploit my own children!<\/p>\n I’m really looking forward to doing this throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
