Description

Just now I was playing around on the computer and I heard the sound of feet walking through the grass. I grabbed my camera and snuck out and managed to get pretty close to this guy before he saw me and bolted. My wife bought this guy and an Elephant and a Buffalo on a trip to England. They are each made out of old oil cans. I took pictures of the others too, but they are grey and this guy really kinda popped out. I tried a lensbaby for this shot, but had the wrong aperture ring in and probably the wrong filter, and couldn't be bother to change it, so just grabbed my 28-135mm and zoomed to the max and snapped away. f/5.6 is the largest I could go, but enough to give a nice shallow depth of field. And yes, I was laying on the grass to take this. ;-)
