      @weftyarn appreciate it, man. The 50 has been with me since like 2015-16, and to this day it's my favorite camera-related purchase.

      Beautiful bokeh on the party photos. The colors give it all a very dream-y feeling. How do you like the Fuji rig, by the by? I've been a full-frame Canon man since day 1… I had no idea APS-C had come far enough to get pictures like that.

        Thanks guys!!

        @Jestocost I absolutely love my Fuji kit! Transitioned from a Sony A6000 about two years ago, so I never shot anything but APSC and can’t really tell the difference to Full Frame from first hand experience.

        I can tell though, that with the right lens, awesome Bokeh can be achieved!!

        Some of the lenses I’ve used that can achieve absolutely gorgeous Bokeh:

        Fuji 23mm 1.4
        Fuji 35mm 1.4
        Samyang 35mm 1.2 (Manual)
        Samyang 50mm 1.2 (Manual)
        Fuji 56mm 1.2

        The Fuji 90mm 2.0 is an absolute stunner, too. But very expensive considering the limited versatility with that focal length. Here’s some sample shots I found online:

        Use it or lose it.

                        @Jett129 great action shots.  Did your area receive much damage?  Eastern Canada took quite a hit with homes, roads, and power grids destroyed.

                        Hoping all of the Eastern Canadians are going to come out ok.

                          Thanks,No damage,just waves and wind,which hampered the surfers to some degree.

                              Thanks @weftyarn A lot of cropping going on,much to the surfers dismay,as they want to see more of the wave,and I’m trying to show the action and crop into the direction that the surfer is moving. Try to imagine if there were Baseball cards for surfers,what would they look like.

                                      That is 100% correct. Taking a break from drinking bourbon.

                                        Stunning shots, @Jett129

                                        How have you edited these? This B&W profile is so unique and recognizable. I love how it makes the details such as the facial muscles of the horse pop out.

                                        Use it or lose it.

                                          Thank you @weftyarn These are very edited,cropped etc. I tend to test everything I do to see how it might look in B&W,or if the color just isn’t working for me. While I have a plugin that gives me access to about 50 different analog B&W films,for this I just clicked B&W and proceeded to adjust the images accordingly.

                                            The editing and cropping certainly didn't hurt - I love the result!

                                            As my father likes to say: If it doesn't work in black & white, it won't work in color.
