This week Anne (Slow Shutter Speed) begins the lens-artist challenge with a question, “Now what would happen if you had a fixed lens and had to walk forward, backward or sideways to get the shot?” Well … it is interesting how this simple question took me back to why I invested in telephoto lens … fixed lenses and street photography … yeah … even to image today using a fixed lens while walking down town … anxiety provoking.
Today, an autumn dove-gray sky … the gray that opens up the magnificence of reds, yellows, and oranges. A sweater-weather morning walk – forward, closer, and sideways – through the neighborhood garden.
Rather busy … should I move closer?

The painted rock in the left corner … more interesting than the blossoms?

that 50mm lens sitting in my closet…gathering dust. My zoom lens is my fixed lens. 🙄
I agree a zoom lens is a “fixed” lens?
Brenda, your moving closer and photographing that rock brought a smile to my face!
Thank you…it was fun to do a play photo day.
Great examples, the painted rocks take me back, personally, a handful of years before our daughter was driving and her and her friends always painted these at our family cottage. Thank you for also moving some memories for me!
Reading unexpected painted rocks while on a walk adds joy to the moments
Brenda, you showed us the spirit of the challenge so well. The photos are beautiful.
Thank you heaps … playful bravery in the neighborhood gardens
the bee is a great topic – we need to bee more happy
Thank you … I so agree!
