    Flappy

    Spotted a bit of black plastic bag on a wire fence while out the other day. Switched to shutter priority, knocked the speed down to 1/80s (about as low as I though I could go with a 200mm) and fired off a couple of shots. This had the best mix of sharpness and flappyness.

    Lots to like here; the mundane taken to engaging. I like the texture in the wire, and the tones used for this monochrome.

    Robin....how creative to find something like this to photograph...! Last week I was looking at the top of one of my trees in the backyard of my house in Melbourne (Australia) and saw this flopping white tattered supermarket bag and wondered how it got there and how far it had traveled to get there. Since it was way up high, I can only looked at it each morning as I go out there at my deck. Seeing your shot here, I now realized that I should had taken a shot of it instead of wasting my time wondering... hmmm...
