Of frizzles and the 50 mm

Playing and getting to know my 50 mm...as well as furthering my endless fascination with these tall grass "frizzles".

All f/1.4, baby, because I can!

A local walk

I remember this day, way back in winter, but probably over sixty degrees. It was Sunday morning and I got to work before the store opened. I was quite grumpy (a common occurence, sad to say) so I went out for a walk with camera in hand. I shot anything and everything, and returned full of good cheer and amazed at all there is to see in this world of ours, if only within a .25 mile radius. I continue to be impressed with the versatility of the 50 mm lens. And yes, I sure do like to shoot with it wide open. (Click on any of the images to view them larger.)

The first one was posted on my daily blog back when it was taken. But I wanted to post them here together since they were taken at the same time and location.

Watkins Mill - Graffiti Side

Boogieman and I have been here before with cameras in hand. This time the girl came with me. Here are her shots. (You don't want to miss "token with tolkein.")

Boogieman and I have always explored the east of the bridge/overpass. But the girl was eager to look and and photograph the graffiti. So we went under the bridge and out the other side.

The graffiti was pretty spectacular, but certainly not moreso than the sun reflecting on the water, the rock formations, or taking off your shoes and feeling the cold, wet, mossy ground.
