My new lens allowed me to get within inches of this ribbon while maintaining focus. This shot was taken about 20 minutes before sunset today, with sunshine hitting this part of the ribbon directly.
Note: Because I was raised in New England, Christmas is different in Florida, but it's still Christmas nonetheless. And I need to convince myself of that. So, in the next 20 days, including the holiday itself, I intend to find Christmas here in Brevard County and portray it through a different photo each day.
This edition serves as a welcome for my new 105mm Nikon macro lens, which allows for extreme close-up shots of subjects. In this case, it was a ribbon stuck to the top of an Audi as part of a promotion for a local dealership at The Avenue Viera, an outdoor shopping mall.
