In a rarefied air of indie music, Cat Power's raw, gritty voice captivates audiences, evoking both beauty and chaos in a transient emotional journey.

The 50mm lens is inexpensive, versatile, and a great starting point for portrait photography, offering capabilities like beautiful background blur that other lenses may not.

When faced with the midday sun, the first thing you should do is look around for a shaded area: the spot beneath a large tree, an open garage, the side of a building, the space below an awning, or anything else that casts a big enough shadow to cover your subject. Shaded light isn't incredibly flattering, and it certainly isn't very flexible (what do you do if you're photographing a moving subject, like a dog in action, that won't stay put?), but it works decently well for portraits, flowers, products, and still-life setups. The benefit is that it creates a softer, lower contrast look that can enhance your subject.
