3rd February 2005

My sister found a tortoise shell while out in the renosterveld the other day and brought it home.

I didn't use a tripod for this shot so couldn't make use of a deep DOF. In this case though it turned out well, the far-end of the tortoise just falling out of the DOF.

Stunning! It seems so alive, it's hard to believe the tortoise is not there.
