… the beach called. and we were glad we listened.
he had so much fun running around gathering beach treasure and marking his spot over and over with his name, and I had as much fun watching his adventure unfold in the crazy, crazy light. next time we must remember to bring a hotwheels car though, he said. I can’t wait.

nope, they were shot with the cheapie 50mm 1.8. The weird flare isn’t ideal, but I didn’t mind it too much there

no i agree it looks good in the above images. i had the samyang 35mm and even though it was SUPER sharp and near perfect it’s flare was AWFUL and way worse and more obvious than what your 50mm is showing.

I love the flare!! These images are incredible, Peta! Further proves that it is the photographer behind the camera versus the lens you use to take the images.
