Back in 2012, when our eldest was a baby, I decided to buy a proper camera so our photos of her would be a little nicer than what 2012 phones could produce.

I bought a Nikon #d3300, which is an entry level #DSLR and I've been using it on and off since then. I quickly bought the Nikkor 35mm f/1.8 DX lens and it's been a great lens for everyday shots.

When you start a new hobby it's not always clear where you'll end up, and I didn't really have any thoughts on photography before buying a camera beyond the ambition to take "better photos".

But I quickly learned some thing:

1. I am not very good at landscape photography
2. I am decent at portrait photography
3. I don't want to carry around a huge zoom lens, the camera's big enough as it is
4. I don't want to (and can't afford to) spend a fortune on camera gear

This means that since 2012 I've been drifting more and more into shooting only with prime lenses, which have a fixed focal length like 35mm or 85mm.
