When I bought my first camera, I had three lenses with it. Standard kit zoom lens (18mm-55mm) and two primes (28mm and 50mm). It was just before I left for my first trip to Japan and as I believed that more is better, I packed all three lenses in my bag. When I returned to London I noticed something peculiar. All my favourite shots were taken with either of the two primes. I kept on using them on my trip as I knew that the quality of a prime lens is far superior to that of a zoom and also they allowed me to shoot in lower light due to faster aperture. The fact that I liked these shots more was not down to either of these advantages however. It was, in fact, down to improved composition and more thought that has gone into creating the image. I decided to stick with these two primes and sold off the zoom. Last year I bought a camera that came with a fixed 35mm lens. After spending over a year with it I noticed that my vision has improved greatly. I no longer need to raise the camera to my eye to know where the framing is going to be and, although I need to work harder to get the framing I have in my mind, I like these shots much better than the ones taken with a zoom lens………
