@Steveb I'm a bit of a latecomer to the prime lens scene, preferring the flexibility of a zoom lens. Things are changing though and I think photography is more fun if you have to work a bit harder for...

Room with a view! I've often wondered what stories this old house has to tell. Was out yesterday with my 50mm prime lens. Sometimes called a "Nifty Fifty", this lens has a fixed focal length of 50mm,...

Today we have been enjoying views like this. The small, traditional village of Alcazar in the Sierra de Contraviesa backed by the snow clad mountains of the Sierra Nevada

Here's a more "normal" night shot of my town, Lanjarón, under the stars. The constellation of Orion to the top left and the Pleiades to the extreme right.
