    Portrait Photography | The Secret for Getting Razor Sharp Photos With 50 mm Lens

Whatever the mode from the snapshot to the decisive moment to multimedia montage, the intent and purpose of photography is to render in visual terms feelings and experiences that often elude the ability of words to describe.
