Miss Bertie and the mandolin
Shot with the loupymattlens, and Canon 5D Mk II, f/8 (apparently), 1/40”, ISO 800…..manual settings!!! Sometimes I shock myself!
A tiny bit of processing done to add a little more light on the subject, otherwise this is straight from the cam…gotta love the 5D

Fantabulous Mel, absolute stunner… but what’s this about the “f/dunno”? there was a bit of paper there telling you the apertures of the discs… (shrugs) but it doesn’t really matter you make “purdy pitchers” regardless of the “f/” :-)
Mel Brackstone replied
bit of paper? oh yeah…...I’m really good at looking after bits of paper….LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
