POTD Aperture: Books I've Been Meaning to Read

Playing with aperture settings and a stack of books I want to read. I am almost done with Jonathan Strange--very good but boy is it long! Next I want to finish Atonement, which actually isn't in this stack. I like the 2nd one; it lets you sort of read the titles but still has a nice softness to the stack.

That book was weird! Good use of aperture and that is quite a healthy stack of books, good luck.

STORY OF MY LIFE! I have a mile of those books that once I am done reading books for school, parenting books, and photography books, I am going to start on. (That will take like 10 years, but I can't wait!)

I really love these examples of aperture. Awesome shots.
