EXPLORE # 7
This unidentified spider with pinkish/reddish head and green legs with yellow/white body with a black marking similar to Batman's bat logo/icon was photographed at the NAPWC July 4.
He was not terminated after the shoot. He was gently returned where we found him.

"Knock on Wood" Week is now over. :( Thanks so much for sharing in this tribute to all things wood...I hope you weren't board. Ha! Board, not bored...get it? OK, nevermind.
Hand-Hewn Door: I have to admit--out of nearly a dozen wood photos this week, I saved my absolute favorite for last. An old, weathered door like this is so steeped in history and character, that as a photographer you hope to capture & convey some of its rich storytelling.
Happy Wide-Open Sunday!

Shoot with natural backlighting and adjust the level to make it clearer & contrast to create this feel.
On the right-hand side, out of sight the grip the handle, the shown part are approx. 45 cm, the free space to right less. No shown the handle, to the Maybe a tight fit for the macro Mondays rule of 3 inch or less.
One of my attempts for Macro Mondays, them tool.
Feel free to leave comments and constructive feedback. No P1/C1 or seen in group and similar.

Bird's Eye View: Oh, you thought I meant the 85mm f/1.2L II was only good for people portraits? Noooooo...this lens creates such an incredibly clear, silky & shallow depth of field that it makes any subject look as though it's sitting in front of a fake backdrop. But be warned: focusing with this lens can be a challenge—the DoF is so ridiculously razor thin that I had to stop down just to get his beak and his eyes in focus. :)
Note: To clear up some confusion: I've actually owned the 85mm f/1.2L II for about 6 months now (I thought including Grandma's portrait from last Fall would convey that). C'mon now—as if I would recommend a lens without first trying it out! :)
Thank you all for your feedback & support! I will catch up this weekend!

And only the photographer himself knows the effect he wants. He should know by instinct, grounded in experience, what subjects are enhanced by hard or soft, light or dark treatment. ~Bill Brandt
