D240: Spinning Wheel


Came across this roadside carnival on my way home.  I had not taken my photo of the day so I stop and took a few images.  Since I'm doing the prime lens challenge this month, I only had my 50mm with me.  This was my favorite shot.  This wheel was not that colorful, but it was ok for my potd.



Manual/Book:  Read pages 154 and 155 "Sharpening"

Images:  Viewed images by Hark Lee .   This guy has some amazing landscape images.  I also like the layout of his website.
