Down in it

Taken at sunset this marsh grass photograph is from a closeup perspective with a shallow depth of field.

Down in it — 40mm | f/2.8 | ISO 100 | EXP 1/160

I took fifteen shots tonight. This was the first. Taken blind from an outstretched arm dangling inches from the ground. Sometimes it works out that way.

Other than purposefully taking this shot wide open it was a crap shoot; a hopeful aim in a general direction—in this case at marsh grass backed-up by the setting sun. I’d say this was a nice change of piece to my usual sunset routine.
