 I don't expect this to do well at all, but because I don't care about my average score, I'm going to enter it anyway.

I wasn't planning on shooting anything for this challenge, but I had bought this mirror from a flea market, and when we brought it home, The Dude was all over it. So out came my camera...

I shot this at f/1.4 because of very low light conditions and the ISO was already pretty high. I would have liked to get a little more DOF. I noticed later that I was at 1/250, so I could have used a slower shutter speed if I weren't on Av mode, but oh well.



And in case anyone is wondering, The Dude is named after the lead character in The Big Lebowski (yes, I'm a dork)
