Peering Out into the Expansive Void
Lens: FA*24 f/2 Camera: K-1 Photo Location: Seven Mile Bridge, Florida Keys ISO: 125 Shutter Speed: 1/125s Aperture: F11

This was a shot of opportunity. I was lining up to shoot from this angle with my 55mm but this little girl just happened to wander out and sit on this pier. I only had the FA*24 on the camera and I knew I didn't have much time before she moved. I dialed in quick settings (f/11), aimed, focused, and fired. I got one click of her in this position. I really like the effect of the 24mm here far more than I would have liked the 55, so I'm happy circumstances made me use the 24.

Madmathmind, I'm sure you didn't mean this to be category "Abstract" right?

Really nice shot, a pitty you missed the opportunity with 55mm lens, just for comparing with.
