Hammock

 

 

There is photographic evidence that I was walking around trying to figure something out about my camera and lighting. There are a bunch of blurry, poorly-lit, poorly-framed photographs. Because, in truth, I am writing this post about seven months after the date of capture (the date on the post), I have no idea what I was doing. I did end up with one photo I like. It is in focus, and the balance of light & dark seems perfect. I also enjoy the subject matter and the random framing that occurred. Fortunate me!
