Well since many people are doing some abstract images, and since I'm looking for something to take pictures of with my setup, here's something I got just today!

My very first black eye!! This event happened during my karate belt test for my 3rd brown belt. Fortunately, it was the last hit I took as I couldn't see out of that eye for a few seconds (too blurry).

Ouch! Is this with autofocus, or how did you focus and aim it?

I got my first black eye ever about fifteen years ago (when I was over 30, out of the Army, and supposedly past such things) when I was too slow during a volleyball game. Last time I played volleyball, too!

Believe it or not, no auto-focus. I had it on manual. I did a test shot with my finger to get an approximate distance. Then stood in front of my camera, used the remote shutter release to take the picture. Lucked out that it worked :-)
