Herping in the Preserve

My first night hike in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve was so much fun (see more pix HERE). I struggled choosing which lens to take and ultimately decided to go with the least heavy and fastest lens I have which is my ultra cheap Canon 50mm f/1.8. Since I don’t have much luck with flash photography, I decided just to have fun. All images are hand held and lit by head lamps and flash lights. It was a great deal of fun not worrying whether the photos would turn out or not! It was the first time I’ve used this lens so it was a good test. It’s actually not too bad for a plastic lens I paid less than $100 for 🙂
