The biggest challenge of my weekend….taking a photo of a squished toad with my friend’s medium format camera….I don’t think wildlife photography is in my future……to be fair to myself, it was hard. The image projects backwards and to then try and get it straight while upside-down was close to impossible….for me. But just wait until you see the perfection that comes (once I develop the film….ehm….film…not digital….two steps forward, huge leaps b…)
My favorite is the guy on the bike.
The photo was taken by my good friend Claudia Leisinger.
