Experimenting With a Portrait Lens

This week my new lens came in, so I decided to have Brady pose for photographs to test it. This lens is 35mm and I was told it is perfect for portraits. After experimenting a bit, I found this to be true. The portraits I took of Brady look crisper and clearer than ones I have taken previously, even on the same camera (with the other lens). One thing I also liked with this lens is that in some of the photographs, the background becomes blurred out and the focus is on the subject in the foreground.
