Not much to say about this. I think this would be much better as maybe 3 or 4 different photographs. Maybe just quarter it evenly. Or maybe some overlapping bits: take the lower right, up to a bit above that planet in the center right, and over to just before the vertical in focus strip …

365.163 succumbence
Well, I held out longer than I expected, but succumbed earlier than I hoped… If this is 1/10th as entertaining as the previous version, it’ll still provide ~500 hours of play time, so GOGO. D7000. Nikon 75-150mm f/3.5 Zomb-E Series. ISO100, 4 seconds (AP Mode), f/3.5. Mild-to-medium adjustments in Aperture to bring out the bokehliciousity.

But I forgot one thing… I got home, changed out of my work clothes, deliberated …
365.159 Object Lesson

365.158 the showdown
I’m suddenly feeling too out of it two say much about this little Elastolin cowboy, so… I will say that I’m not particularly happy with this shot, or with the subject, or with the title, and I’m beginning to tire of this 365 project. I expect this last bit will pass in a day or …
