manor woods - 85mm

Despite it being impractical and cumbersome , there is just something special about the way the 85mm renders photographs. As I’ve written about before, as an all purpose walk around lens it is no good, but when I want super shallow depth of field, that just melts the background away into gentle blurriness, then this lens is the one.

Manor woods is a location I visit a lot, usually a couple times a week with the dog, to the point of being over familiar, I don’t even usually take my ‘proper’ camera, so taking the 85mm lens felt like a good way to see it in a new light.
