I rather like how this picture came out. Real cool lookin. I figured out more techniques with this lens I'm using.
It's kinda the bottom line of lens's. BUT eventually I figured out that instead of being upclose and trying to focus and fill the picture which i had been doing with very little success.
I found that if you back up and zoom in you have almost 100 Percent more control in which parts are focused over those that aren't. It's a really good technique especially with when not working with a quality lens and capturing small objects.
The piece is obsidian, collected locally. The silver work was done by Michael Thornton aka ~skezzcrom - 2012
