Small. Package. Good. Things.


Sometimes, good things really do come in small packages. Like the tiny Olympus 45mm f/1.8 lens. I've always enjoyed the rendering produced by this cheap and cheerful golfball-sized little lens. Here, in this shot taken on the Appalachian Trail, the focus was on the nearest post. The aperture was f/5.6 and the fall off in focus is just what I was looking for to emphasize the atmospheric perspective. I do rather wish I'd left some more space at the top, but, not to worry, I could easily fix that in Photoshop should MOMA express interest.
