Too much of a good thing

Wind 25, gusts to 30 @ 270.
temp 7
Walled Lake

Last night the forecast was Game On. I loaded up the rex and was suitably prepared for the elements with a new snowboard and the Ranger 12M.

I pulled up to the lake and quickly reassessed the situation. To many elements. Gusty conditions and negative windchill had me second thinking the plan.

Instead I pulled out the camera and did some experimental shooting with a new macro lens and aperture settings. Next experiment is color saturation.

Results.

Macro lens, no software correction.

The bluegill slayer.

Center in focus, perimeter out of focus. Artistic, or cheap lens? You decide?
