Cone of Silence

[Wicked Dark]

So I'm working on a study/project in my front yard that will take me basically all year to complete and while I'm at it, other subjects just keep presenting themselves -



2 lodgepole pines drop these by the hundreds.

Olympus E-30 | OM 90mm f2 lens | ISO 100 | 1/15 sec | ? f11 ?

Thanks guys. These little guys are really tactile and I tried to convey how irresistible they are to pick up and examine.

Nice shots.

What is the background for that first one? It looks like a path.

it's my front steps...plain old concrete.

Very nice - Like how the concrete colors actually match up with the cone.
