About the Nifty Fifty Workshops
Every photographer at one point or another has the internal struggle before going to photograph: What lenses should I bring with me today? The common answer is as many as I can without being too uncomfortable. And so we pack up our wide, standard, telephoto, prime, and macro lenses and head out into the field, forcing ourselves to endure limitless choices while sacrificing simplicity.
Our Nifty Fifty workshops flip the script and force you to only carry one lens: A 50mm lens, nostalgically referred to as a “nifty fifty”. With limitations, what can you achieve?
For this walk… we will be photographing in Newburyport, Massachusetts. Newburyport is an eclectic town along the coast, featuring a blend of new and old architecture amid a variety of shops, restaurants, docks, boats, and colors. During the walk, we will photograph in the morning light and work with a 50mm lens to your advantage! We will work on capturing the scene, but also elements of street photography and storytelling, if applicable! Photographers of all levels are welcome!
Image Review
We will follow this workshop up with an image review. We ask that you submit three images for review.
Join us for a great experience!
*Question: Are other prime lenses acceptable? Olympus/Panasonic users may use a 25mm lens, since it gives the same look as a 50mm and other primes can be used as an alternative, but we ask that you try to keep it at one prime in as close to that range as possible. Remember- this is a “nifty fifty” workshop, not a “mighty ninety” workshop. (And does that even really rhyme?)
