Grass Stalk, B&W

This picture is really best for the computer background rather than smaller devices. It takes a larger image to see the small details that are the main interest of the picture. It also makes for a noce large print to liven an empty corner wall.

Photography notes:

The camera doesn't support auto-focus on this lens. It took some determination and patience to get this in sharp focus! The choice of aperture was constrained by a combination of needing to have enough depth of focus for the entire stalk while simultaneously throwing the background out of focus — and yet keeping just enough information to sense it is a field of grass.

The picture was converted to black-and-white in postprocessing.
