You’ve no doubt heard of flying pigs but I decided to go for flying giraffes today courtesy of this mobile for today’s photo! I shot it hanging in our living room, lit with just the soft light reflected by all the snow outside the window. I used the largest aperture possible (f1.8 on my ‘nifty fifty’) to ensure that only one of the giraffes was properly in focus.

Nice composition and depth of field. Ok - I've wanted to ask for some time, and it now seems appropriate - what is the significance of Girafferacing?!?!?!?!?!?!?! MouseholeKit · 2010-01-10: 12:29

Great shot - the composition is very well balanced! I wonder how it might have looked through the lensbaby. penguinphotos · 2010-01-10: 13:57
