This image really gives you a great example of what great depth of field you get when shooting a lens like a 50mm prime at f/1.8. Check out the narrow band of the subject that's in focus. You go even an inch in front or behind and you completely go blurry! Great for making your subject pop out! This particular subject is an old mining cart that is part of a local exhibit on Silver mining . . . always wanted to stop and take a picture of it!

Captured with the Nikon 50mm prime at f1.8 with a shutter speed of 40th of a second.
