Description Just messing around in a neighbours garden with a 50mm lens and testing my close-up (ish) capabilities with some leaves and rain drops.

so much for "I'm not gonna upload stuff in the near future"
Great shot, it looks so fresh... The symmetrical lines make the image really interesting in my opinion.

Thanks Katja, appreciated as always, but I did have a good laugh at this comment.

You know how you spot a shot but don't have your camera. On the way down to the local shop yesterday I spotted a couple of possible shots, and another on the way back, but it was chucking it down with rain at the time. Within the hour the rain had stopped so I grabbed the camera and went back and took them both, plus a few others.

I am also testing my close vision to see how it works, and all I can say is that auto-focus is a great invention

Yay for auto-focus!
I'm happy that works so great for you!

Yeah, tell me about it, leaving your camera at home... The other day I walked our dog alone, didn't take the camera and went into the woods spontaneously and I found the most magical scenery I've seen in a while. Yesterday it was still ok, but not the same, because the morning mist was different leaving the colors less vibrant. I could've kicked my own butt...

Maybe it's gonna be as good again today, I'll see...

I think the motto is - never go out without a camera - but then what lens do you pick.

You can guarantee, whatever one you pick, it will be the wrong one

Cheers young man, appreciated.

Long live camera auto-focus is all I can say
