Discovery Park Seattle. Mid-summer. Found this dried leaves with cobwebs and thought it was a very interesting combination.

Ferry ride
On an Edmonds-Kingston ferry boat taking us to Kingston, WA. You get to be at the front of the line when onboarding onto the ferry if you are riding a motorcycle. The line for cars had over 2 hour wait. But we got to go first and also at the front of the ferry with an awesome view!

Small things look great with a long focal length lens and high speed flash to darken the background. Here’s my experiment with a small pearl necklace in a box. I set it up on a table top with a black cloth, 4 Godox TT685 flashes using a wireless trigger, and Nikon Z 6 with a Nikkor Z 24-200mm lens.
