I recently purchased a new lens, the canon 40mm f/2.8 STM lens (pancake lens).

I was pleased with the price, and now I'm in the trying it out mode, it was attached to the canon 40D.

This lake is located in town on the main road, they have a beach,picnic area, and playground for everyone to enjoy.

I appreciate the views, and your comments.

Congrats with your new lens Sandi.

I have read something about pancake lenses on a Dutch site (think therefore it's not useful to provide you with the link). They have both advantages and disadvantages.
Hope you'll will use only its advantages. Success with it. This posting is promising anyhow.

Regards, Cornelius.

That blue sky and the blue water make the shore scene look even prettier than it already is. Nice capture Sandi.

It will be great in low light situations Tigz.
I thought maybe this lake had dried up, you hadn't posted one from there in a while.
Congrats on the new lens and there is a slight tilt as the Owd Timer already stated.

I don't know anything about the lens but if this is any indication you'll have a lot of fun with it...a lovely serene capture, the water smooth as silk...looking forward to more of your 'trying it out mode'.

Sandi, we should have a contest centering around the use of the color blue. I would venture to guess you could win it, hands down. Crystal blue with this one.

For a tiny lens it seems to take a remarkably good quality picture. You ought to be able to handhold this little baby in a variety of conditions considering the size and f2.8. Trying it out for some close ups of flowers and things should give you a good idea of whether you like it or just want to use it for moderately wide shots. Considering the cost of the lens I bet you're fairly happy with it. This is a nice picture Sandi.

I'm in love with all that blue... At this time of year my mind always takes me to my very special lake in Vermont, and this reminds me of it.
