Iris

There is a bit of humor that screams out to me from this photo. Do you suppose the Iris would increase its starring role simply by checking the camera's iris for DOF & contrast? It might help significantly to simply burn in the background, and dodge the iris only half as much.

Amen! Very good! All true success that lasts for Eternity (the true test of endurance) is found in a dynamic relationship with the Creator of the Universe. This is not so because I believe it. This is so! I believe it in order to participate.

Great capture of one of the first split-seconds of a match flame! I hope you didn't have to go through a whole box to get this one, but it was certainly worth all your great effort!
I would love to gain your permission to use this in PowerPoint!
