Now a days I am concentrating more on the 50mm, but here are some portraits taken with the 18-55 Our Gardener Maid

I have started using this lense which was acquired more than 4 years ago and used by my son on the D300. Here are shots with the 24MP D3300. Focus, Aperture and the speed are all manual as the D3300 does not meter with this lense. Even the flash is in manual mode! As my hands shake, I use a...
