The I Have To Shoot What Challenge for Week 38: Shallow Depth of Field
Even though I have a 50mm f1.8 I wasn't inspired to take that many pictures with it. I did like playing with my background bokeh, though, so I hope you find that this qualifies...

Via Flickr:
Cornish, Maine.
It was another nice sunset day, I used both an Olympus and Canon cameras to capture my panorama photos and I have to say that I prefer using the Olympus as it gives a much more life like clarity and natural color to the photos.
This was the view at sunset from Hessian Hill today, photos taken with an Olympus SP510UZ.

Evening Sky

This evening sky, which I shot from the roof of the Crane Estate in Ipswich, MA, had an interesting rainbow effect that I have never seen before. The sun was to my right, out of the picture.
