This isn't a photo that I would normally post. It was a snapshot of a vaguely interesting set of lines that I saw on my walk home today, sloppily done and hand-held letting the camera guess where I wanted the focus to be. Taken at f/5.6 with the 50/1.4G, it has ambivalent depth of field that isn't enough to capture a lot of the detail and isn't shallow enough to shroud it in mystery.
But then I looked a little closer.
Waukesha is a place that I've heard of: it's the home of Mike Johnston, who has created one of the very best photographer's blogs on the English-language internet.
Seeing his town's name was a little like running into a minor celebrity.
This also marks my first blog post with my new D800. The second photo still isn't quite a 100% crop.
