Fence post around our small sheep pasture.

*****THANK YOU FOR VISITING ANITA'S PHOTOBLOG!*****

I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.

If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!

A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.

oops my bad - thought it said 200mm... it was 200 Iso - either way - interesting subject matter :)

@Betsy Barron: Easy mistake to make since the subject matter was different. Whenever I switch to my 18-70mm kit lens, I feel the restrictions of a f5.6 lens, having gotten used to the f2.8 of my macro lens.

Sue from United States

The character and texture that Mother Nature and "age" produces is simply wonderful...and you have captured it beautifully.

I totally understand about liking the 2.8 aperture. It's hard to go back to 5.6 isn't it! :)

A marvelous combination of cylindrical "strands" from the thinnest a spider can produce to the fence post.
