Just the other day…there was an apartment building fire in our neighborhood. Passing the cleanup efforts, I saw this on the inside wall of an open dumpster.

Kinetic: “Of or relating to the motion of material bodies and the forces and energy associated therewith.”
Though the subject was stationary, a strong impression of movement and energy caught my attention in passing.
Typing the exposure specs, I’m wondering why on earth I used f9.5 when there wasn’t much depth in this scene? At f8 the camera would have dropped to a lower ISO to meet my minimum shutter speed of 1/180 sec for hand holding this lens. That, combined with its best aperture setting for sharpness would have led to an even clearer image without post-processing.
I think I got excited, and forgot to check. 😉
Oh, and Happy New Year!
