chasing the flagYesterday was the start of the circus gym class my son is attending. I tried getting some action shots with the 135mm. Exposure was pretty strained in the low light, and getting focus on a moving kid is not easy. Lightened in Picasa.

rebar 135mm f/2.8 series econstructiond40orangerebarshotwideopen
rebarSome bars of rebar sticking up from concrete in the construction site next to our building. I liked the low sun on the orange caps. Shot wide open to play with the depth of field. Contrast and shadows applied in Picasa. Should have put the camera into vivid colour mode, but didn't think of it until I reviewed the pics.

gone to heavenWell not really, I hope! Just a forgotten child's boot, and some trash. The title was inspired by the fact that the company that makes the box the boot is on, a switch to get a pedestrian green light, says that the hand pointing up is not pointing to the white circle you press, but up towards the Christian God. Background, see here (in Swedish). http://www.svd.se/nyheter/inrikes/artikel_1585911.svd
