Piece of Treetrunk
Piece of treetrunk in a clearing. West Wickham Common, 2 June 2011.
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.
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.
