Tarnished Beauty

 Vintage. Tarnished. Beautifully Designed

Playing around with aperture and lighting this morning

Took off my normal zoom lens

and using  my old standard 50mm 1:4 on my Nikon D90

I  had to become the zoom.

So different using a fixed lens.

The great thing about the wide aperture of this lens

is it allows so much

m o r e   l i g h t

and blurs the background

(known as bokah)

I often use my point and shoot

which is usually handy but almost everything is in focus.

It is wonderful to focus close-up on the beautiful design

and tune out all of the other things in view

that are screaming for attention.

Our days are like that.

{What will you focus on today?}
