Rudbeckia hirta

June 26

Home

In keeping with tradition, when I get a new lens I keep using it for several weeks to force myself to learn the strengths and weeknesses of the lens. In a walk about on my property Sunday afternoon I found the sun breaking through the trees on this cluster of Black-Eyed Susan. The 17mm perspective adds depth to the small cluster creating the illusion of added space. The tree in the background is only about 6 or 7 feet away. It's a fun lens.

Scott,
I would never have guessed 17mm for this shot. Great idea to use the lens for several days to see how you can stretch it. It is a fabulous lens. Enjoy and nice shot!

Very pretty! You get the impression that the tree is further away. Enjoy your new lens. :)

Interesting effect. This lens is on my short wish list.

Lovely shot. It's amazing what we take foregranted in our own back yards.
Interesting name you call this plant, in the UK a Black eyed susan looks very different. Thunbergia alata - http://www.fothergills.co.uk/en/thunbergia-black-eyed-susan-susie-mixed-189.aspx
