Perfect timing. It was purely by accident that I found a heart-shaped Lilly leaf on the day before Valentine's Day. I have no one to give it to this year, so here you go, it's yours...
Soooooooo, here's the deal... That photo above was made hand-held without a tripod (f-4, 1/160, -2/3e.c., ISO-100) so naturally I knew I wasn't going to get a lot of depth-of-field. I'm okay with it, but then there are the photogs (I won't mention any names) who think they need every shot sharpened front to back with pinpoint technical perfection. Soooooooo, I went back to Lilly Lake yesterday and used my tripod, sort of to prove that I CAN do it the "way a pro would". Curously, my result with the tripod (f-32, 5sec, -1e.c., ISO-100) seems to be less life-like than my original hand-held example, above.

First there will be tadpoles, then there will be noisy frogs, pesky dragonflies, and all sorts of creepy crawlies, including funny looking photographers with even funnier looking cameras. (f-8, 1/5sec, -1.33e.c., ISO-100, tripod=yes)
