26 May 2014 - Memorial Day in Mason
Today I had for lunch a bowl of Cuban Black Beans with a thin slice of bread. Apparently, even this very thin piece of bread was a bit too much added carbs and much blood glucose was 140 an hour after I finished lunch, so it was off on an excercise walk for me to run that number down. I decided to make this a photo walk, so I attached the Panasonic 20/1.7 lens to my new Olympus PEN E-PL5 camera and departed.
This lens is a moderate wide angle lens, so I decided to try some shots that go well with wide angles, namely I tried to include some close up objects in most photos. This gives a fairly large size in the photo for an object close to the camera, while things look smaller the further away from the camera they are. This effect will be clear in many of the photos below, as will the general large depth of field, meaning everything is in focus from far to near.
Not far from home I was reminded that this is a flag-appropriate holiday. Flags were very much in evidence. I had forgotten it was Memorial Day, but once I realized it I made the most of it with my selection of subjects. I followed my original intention of simply documenting the everyday things of Mason, but I made sure to include things related to the holiday. I hope you enjoy the flags and the simple things as well.
