365.185 Abstraktes Bild

On the back of the camera, this looked like Captain America somehow. In the computer, it looked fairly dull, at first, but then began to transform: a discotheque; a growth of some foreign mold or crystal; superman’s skin, even; there were others.

Pretty! D7000. Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G, reversed. ISO100, 1/5th (AP mode), f/5.6 …
