A short note on technique

As a demonstration of my philosophy about "prime" lenses, I wanted to mention that all of the photos of Montreal I'm posting this week were shot with the same lens -- a 50mm f/1.4 prime -- which was the only lens I brought with me.
It did, of course, limit my choices, but it also meant that every time I saw a picture, there was one less decision to make about how to capture it. I never had to change lenses, and my camera kit was as light as it could be while still capturing the level of quality and amount of information I feel I need to have.
And, as you can see already, it wasn't that limiting.
