I recently bought a Canon 85mm EF f1.8. Purpose was to have an alternative to zooms (Canon 24-105mm f4 L and Canon 70-200mm f4 L), get better bokeh from a wider aperture, and reduce bulk. To break in the new lens I planned a shoot in downtown Silver Spring with Julie. The photos below were taken within a two block radius. Lots of backdrop choices in Silver Spring.
