My Outback - December 28, 2010

I was stuck in the house all day and had stepped out on to the deck to taking some recycling out to the bin. I saw this view and wanted to make a picture of it. I figured I'd use my 24 PC-E lens and wanted to twist the focal plane a bit. I took a few shots and this is the one that I like.

It's the view outside the backyard, looking kind of south east. My fence is in the foreground, and the houses are all colored similarly. I liked the pattern that it made on this cool winter day. One day there will be trees breaking up the horizon - just not yet.

Afterwards, I looked too closely at my camera sensor and noticed all kinds of dust on it and spent the greater part of two hours trying to clean the sensor with some swabs that I'd bought a couple of years ago. It wasn't an easy feat, but I think I finally got it.

Thanks for looking.
