This piece of tree was placed next to a holly sapling almost like a sculpture, and seemed to be lit in an interesting way, so I took a shot with my 100mm macro lens. This was at f/2.8, showing how sharp this lens is even wide open.

The wood has been moved around several times since June.

  1. That is wonderful. I love wood. Here, I guess, the heartwood is all gone. The secret of the Macro lenses: at the distance of a number of feet, and 100mm, f. 2.8 is effectively not so "wide open" (shallow) as you'd think if the tree trunk were a butterfly or a coin.
