 To get a different angle of your rocks on your wooden pallet with the concrete T-wall behind, you set your camera on the pallet and hit the shutter, only to discover you've got the center focus thingie on, and the center of your composition is conveniently the dust covered T-wall. The end result is kinda cool, but perhaps only if you happen to be stuck sitting on your porch looking at rocks, then stuck in your trailer with the laptop on the bed as a desk, looking for interesting shots to edit. Also note that the pallet is covered in that same fine dust that appears on the T-wall; that dust is now all over the bottom of your camera.

WOW this series is just mind blowing, and I love them all.....
What I really love is the softness as one can still see the detail and the colors balances the composition so beautifully.....

ZEN. It's interesting when you focus on the "wrong" thing. Makes for a thought provoking image.

The unusual focus , not being on the foreground object, makes this shot interesting to me. It's sort of a reverse bokeh. That dust must be terrible to have to deal with, as I am sure that it gets in and on everything.

I am happy that you can still post on DPC from there. I hope we can help you have a smile or two once in a while.
