Animal, vegetable, and mineral.

Increasingly I am attracted to a crop of 10" x 8".

I used an AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G lens on a Nikon D50 to take this scene. The lens was at 35mm which would be 50mm on full frame. Despite its versatility, I got rid of this lens because I thought there were better alternatives. Given how little it weighed I rather missed it, but the distortion on a picture like this was bad and took some cleaning up in post processing. I probably overdid the post processing a bit in cropping, accentuating the shadows and reducing the saturation, but as I liked the result I have posted it nonetheless. 1/500th at f/11. I forgot the D50 had been set at 1600 ISO but it seemed to behave itself whatever ISO was selected.

Press 'z' for the full technicolor squidginess. Shot with a secondhand Nikon D60 and 18-55mm kit lens bought in 2009. My first digital SLR. It was a revelation. The following year I sold all my Minolta stuff for a fraction of what I had paid for it. Photography was never going to be the same again.
