Best Lens Picture

This weeks Bloggography challenge was to take the best picture with any of your lenses.  I have a Nikon D60  The standard lens that came with is is an 18mm-55mm, 1.3.5-5.6.  It also has Vibration Reduction and Auto focus (which both can be turned on or off.)  It is the kind of lens that does a little bit of everything.  Right now it is the only lens I have right now (on my wish list is a zoom lens) and I love taking all different types of pictures with it.

I usually read the challenge and plan out my picture taking fro the weekend, which is what i did this time.  Unfortunately, on Friday we were hit with a (15 minute) thunderstorm that knocked out our power until Sunday.  Of course, the weather was dreary, cold and cloudy and I did not realize my battery needed charged.  I did manage to take a few pictures one of the nights without power.  Here is my favorite:



ISO 1600, f 4.2, +1.3 EV

I love how "Love is in shadow in the background.

  5. For some reason the "Love" shadow isn't as dark as it is on the original loaded on my computer.
    Also, it is the shadow of a wooden sign on a (flat) part of our banister. WEe had a dozen candles lit throughout the room (power outage) and I noticed the shadow and snapped it.
