Just got my little nifty fifty today. Wanted something for photographing musicians in low light bar shows, ended up testing on one of my cats!
Lighting was a little brighter behind me at home, so I dropped the iso down a hair, but left everything else how I shoot at shows The first was at f2 and the second wide open. The f2 was just to get some intentional slight under exposure on the first. 1600 iso to prepare for what I intend to shoot, and 1/200 for the shutter. Noise was much easier to clean up than with the kit lens at the 55mm end! I think I'm gonna love this.
