Spider Web

[singlepic id=1324 w=480 float=left] A spider web, on a fence, by a restroom, that was open at 7AM…  I was trying to keep the background in focus, thus the f/18, but apparently that wasn’t going to get quite enough DOF.  Calculator says I only had about 3″ of depth behind… Continue reading

Ramsey Falls
