Stone Mountain is the most famous in Georgia but a few miles away is another one, Mt. Arabia. I have always loved the little pools that form on the top of these outcroppings. It was only when I acquired the 21 SA that I could do them justice. Why? Because for the most part these things are only a few feet in diameter and become insignificant with longer lenses. For that matter, with a lens that doesn't let you focus very close. This image was conceived as a hyperfocal shot with the closest focus at a little over 20 inches. The black spec's in the foreground are new tadpoles that are only one or two mm long. The shots where the tadpoles were sharp didn't work as well as the trees go fuzzy. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=1483255 Comments always welcome.
