Broken Gourd

I liked the look of this broken gourd or perhaps pumpkin at the farm we visited today. The shell was dried and brittle and the tissue surrounding the seeds resembled a luffa. The saturation has been turned up significantly to make the luffa stuff look more orange. I like the patterns of the dead vines surrounding the gourd. They are organic, but clearly dead, a memory of the growth of last season. The gourd smashed in the center is the fruit of last season now broken, but presenting the seeds for new growth. Taken with the K10 and FA77.

This is a crop of a photo taken with the new FA77. I really have been impressed with it's color rendition.

Sunset Clouds

Moon and Clouds

With this longer focus lens (105mm) I couldn't frame the clouds and moon together in the center of the viewfinder, so I opted to put both on either end, and I kind of liked the result despite not having the sharpest photo I might like.

Weeds in and out of focus

I liked the look of this shot in the viewfinder since I was confused about whether it was the weed nearest me or farthest from me that was in focus. It turned out I was focused on the one farthest from me with this longer focal length manual focus lens (105mm.)
