I'm honestly not sure you will get the shot with that lens. Try renting a pro level, or at least better lens to see the difference. Also, when you shoot with florescent lights you have to shoot shutter speed at some multiple of 60. They have a cycle that oscillates with electrical current, and turn off and on every 60th of a second. This is a back lit shot, which I usually try to avoid. Try using a white plastic laminate with constant light from above, without the light underneath. You may still get much of the luminescense without the blowout. And focus manually. Nice challenge, though. I might give it a try.

Very much like my personal sentiments. If all we have to live for is our own reflection, we are lost.

 

See my photo:

A great symbol of a still great society against the perfect blue sky.

 

It is certainly well shot. Hard to shoot against backlighting like this. I do suspect a bit cropped. I could not frame a subject so well.

 

I have a pic with a similar title:

 

 

So, where from here?

Wonderfully set up!

Fun shot. I did have to look on my keyboard to see what ran after "R".

Did this really happen? I am lost on the photography, which is wonderful. But do snails really follow one another? And is this someting that is known?

The #1 rule of flower (and plant) photography is as soon as you set up, the wind will decide to blow.

So this got ten times the views of my other shots. Any ideas?

Don't crop the shot. It gives both human considerations and artistic perspective to the shot. An old white male walking away from a hardworking black man is a huge part of the American story. Crop the right, if at all.
