Day 15


This photo is the product of both persistence and luck. Luck, because I needed something quick to photograph for this assignment, and persistence because once I got started, I got rather absorbed into the project and spent a while getting exactly what I wanted. This flower is about the size of my thumbnail, and it was one of many that my daughter had picked and put in a small vase.

Things I've learned: I really need to get my sensor cleaned. This was hot at f/8 and the dust is really starting to show on my sensor. This turns into a lot of work when I'm not shooting wide open.
