The next series of photos is part of my personal vision - Color and Selective Focus. And you guessed it, my 50mm f/1.8 will be used extensively.

This was taken in the park by my school, fairly early in the morning. I had some time to kill so I shot a series of pictures, and came up with this.

It was somewhat windy whet I took the shot, so i held the leaves with my hand, and set the autofocus on my camera to AF-C and snapped several pictures, this was the clearest one out of the batch

I ran the original in Photoshop and put in a Warming Filter (85), and tweaked contrast in Levels. I don't think my monitor is calibrated, so most of the levels tweaking was done solely based on the histogram. Since the photo is mostly green, I adjusted the highlight slider just enough to not blow out the green channel.
