This image was taken with my my 100mm Macro, which here shows off striking sharpness and tremendous utility in its dual role as a short telephoto. (Macro lens' such as this one are primarily designed for extreme close-up photography, especially of small objects; many examples are posted throughout this blog.)
Equally remarkable as the macro's performance was Michael's astounding talent at sitting absolutely still, not only during the relatively long exposures (1/50 sec is long for a telephoto lens, especially at close range) but also betwixt shots -- throughout the six or so photographs taken his pose and gaze remained virtually frozen.
As this "sitting" immediately followed a session of silent group meditation in the same room - and chair - in which he sat, I must attribute his stillness as being of both body and Mind . . .
Michael, #2681
