Camera practice

My lovely Canon EF 50mm f1.8 lense that I had for my birthday has arrived! So yesterday I was practising using it. It's totally different to how I imaged as it's very small but I'm amazed at the picture quality! It's fab! I had a bit of a camera lesson with Katy last night and she's given me some new settings to work on. I'll have another practise today and see what I come up with. Here's one I took of Jake yesterday tho. I didn't think it was that bad for a beginner?
