…getting better – only a week since the last post!  This is another from around the yard.  We have three rather large forsythia bushes next to the driveway and this one was catching the evening light as I pulled into the drive, giving it a painterly feel that was so inviting.

I grabbed my camera off the front seat and snapped a few backlit by the sun.  Because I was shooting at f1.8, just about everything dropped away out of focus.  This felt like the only keeper for what I was trying to achieve… I tried both color and black & white.

Again, the 50mm STM, though I  increasingly find myself drawn back to the 28-135 at times and will need to really consider changing some of the parameters of this project.
