Practicing aperture shots
I put the bigger lens on today hoping to shoot some birds, but they proved very elusive. So I played with taking shots on wide apertures.

7) Not a set up, I found this plug hooked on the tree.
Thanks for looking, constructive criticism welcome, I'm still a novice with a lot to learn.

Thanks Suzi. I think the plug was found during some clean up work and put safely in the tree to be claimed by whoever lost it.

I once hooked my mates face lol
That's a fine set, interesting use of dof and the colour rendition looks good.
