Pencil

I read about a method of shooting super macro photos by placing one lens backwards in front of another and decided to play with it a little this afternoon. I taped my Pentax 50mm f/1.4 lens on the front of a zoom lens and took several shots. It is difficult to focus since the depth of field is only a couple of millimeters. I hope to find filter ring adapters to make it easier to connect the two lenses but this shot is interesting to me given the makeshift setup.

Since today is Election Day I had the day off from classes. After voting this morning and running a few errands I decided to drive up the road to Caesar’s Head State Park to see the trees which are peaking about now. The colors were vivid as I traveled north.
