Day 4 - Don Keys
iso400 - f/4.0 - 1/60s - 70mm
Well, this project is starting with the wrong foot... since I had my appendice removed just about two weeks ago, I'm still a little limited in terms of movements and it's been difficult to go outside and take decent pictures.
So I'm still digging in my old photos and leave you with this picture I made last October during a field trip near Poitiers.

Day 3 - Screwed Screw
f4.0-1/60s-iso200-55mm
The memory of a rail-road screw about to disappear in the soil... just like the old Douro rail-road with more than 100 years of activity and closed between Pocinho and Barca d'Alva since 1985.

Day 2 - Christmas Tree
f2.0-1/50-iso800
This is our 2010 Christmas tree. The photo was taken with my oldy canon 50 mm/1.8 that flared heavely, maybe due to the old filter I had in front of the lenses...
