Took a break from directing the traffic through a flooded muddy stream to shoot a few on the slopes of the Rohtang La. The name means 'pile of dead bodies' to indicate the very large number of deaths in sudden storms here.
Tonight the sky was finally clear from the West coast fires to get some nice color.
A transition of the warm sun on the right to a cooler blue and moon on the left.
We took a little walk around the gardens on the campus of Michigan State University, where my daughter works on a post-doc grant in astrophysics (studying supernovae). Beautiful campus.
Aside from setting the lens aperture, are there any other controls on the lens itself?
Obviously lighting, distance to subject and background, focus point, and such seem to have am effect.
BTW, it would be interesting to use this lens in Görlitz, no?
