This jester sculpture is actually part of a lamp – it resides at a relative’s home, and I see it once every couple of years or so.

This time, I’m much happier with the results.

I don’t consider this an exceptional photo by any stretch – rather, it’s just another from the new lens in my bag, the Nikkor 105mm micro. It’s a pretty long lens, and capable of focusing very close up, as seen in the coffee bubbles the other day. Here I was using it to try to […]
