Bulls Eye

My Contribution to this weeks Monochromia blog.

I took this shot while visiting a friends farm where they raise Charolais cattle.This is a close -up cropped shot. Taken with my Leica M9P and the Summicron 90mm f2.0 ASPH lens I have which is a little underused . However is my go to portrait lens. I decided to crop quite heavily with the eye as an anchor point to give the shot more impact. I think I have achieved what I wanted to do. I would be nice to read what you think dear reader.

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

A New York City subway train holds 1,200 people. This blog was viewed about 6,200 times in 2014. If it were a NYC subway train, it would take about 5 trips to carry that many people.

Monochromia

This MG Magnette has, lets face it, seen better days. It’s one of many other vehicles at a “scrapyard that time forgot” just over the Norwegian boarder in Sweden. The place has become very popular with photographers from all over the world, so if you want the place to yourself you have to get there early. By the time I left there were at least a bus full of people there. Some come for the nostalgia others to take pictures. It’s a great place to spend a Saturday morning.
