I thought about it for two days. On the third day, now having both the time and desire, I grab the R8/DMR, remove the 60 mm Macro, Mount the 15 mm Super Elmar, As I walk across the yard I turn the camera on, to M, knowing that A would provide a grossly overexposed frame. I proceeded to take several readings, manually adjusting A, S and ISO to create this - the one frame that I'd envisioned a couple days earlier. I actually exposed two frames - because of focus and OOF issues I couldn't quite decide on.
