[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 295555, member: 14443"] why are you surprised? I do wedding photography, I dont shoot street. and for documenting, I use 85 and up to capture emotions and document without bothering people. I dont follow photographers anymore. and if someone shoots a certain way, I should do what he does? I stopped following photogs many years ago. when I started I looked for direction and inspiration but after a while my passion inside gave me drive. as a pro, I always try to give a wide variety of shots when I shoot a wedding. WA, midrange, tele. shot from high/low/close/far. I dont limit myself to a specific range. since way back, photographers pretty much used 50mm to document a full wedding. I think the focal length has been overdone and [I]to me[/I] 50mm shots arent special. but everyone is allowed their opinion. if you like 50-60mm then great, go for it. 50mm is a great lens to start learning perspective and composition. better than zooms. it forces you to really think about composition. two things a photographer should know. the artistic part and the technical part. not many who do both very well. btw, you say you know youre to be a 50-60 photography but trust me, everyoes style/preferences changes as they develop as a photog.
