   Had to take a hike yesterday to walk off the 3rd grade playground reactions of the democrats and press. Take a deep breath, organize behind your candidate = Biden, and get your shit together. They did this with Clinton and it worked, now you fools are reacting the same way with so much more at stake. WAKE UP, get a grip and move on.

   During and after the hike had a bit of an issue with heat exhaustion, but better now. Also had a chance to think about depth of field. I rarely change out from my 200-500 zoom, so doing any close focus work really puts an emphasis on choosing focal point. The image below would have a 1.5cm depth of field so I chose the head of the dragonfly for focus. That gave a nice bokeh of the grassland behind. If you need help understanding depth of field or planning photos, I rely on PhotoPills. They have a great app, provide great support and great training.
