I don’t really know what you’re inter­ested in, beloved reader, but I assume you would also like to see the odd “fresh” pic­ture, not from my “back catalogue”.

Well, here’s one I took just this morn­ing. At the break­fast table I let my mind wander. Even­tu­ally, it wandered by the fact that I hadn’t used my macro lens in a good while. So I decided to throw it onto the cam­era leave it on for the rest of the day.

Some people like Autumn (oth­ers don’t, and yet oth­ers have no other choice but to like it, since they live in it 365 days a year). Any­way, I shot a bunch of pho­tos today, involving sun­lit spider webs, the cucum­ber a col­league of mine had for lunch, and a dead tree trunk. But in the end, this lovely col­oured leaf made it up here, with its beau­ti­ful, well, leaf tex­ture, morn­ing dew, spider web leftovers and even some hair on it (???). Check out the lar­ger view of it.

This is the best (as in sharpest) shot of the 10 I took in burst mode, as I was shak­ing (it’s not too warm here at the moment) and, moreover, the leaf was dan­cing in the wind. So here’s another good (and old) tip: If your photo risks blur­ring (espe­cially due to cam­era shake), set your cam­era to burst mode and shoot a whole bunch of pic­tures, then there’s bound to be one which is sig­ni­fic­antly sharper then the oth­ers. This one you’ll keep ;-)
