To most, this is just a piece of junk. Anyone looking through my utensil drawer would think I should have tossed it long ago. Afterall, it's no longer functional. It just takes up space! In my eyes it is beautiful. All of its imperfections are part of its story. Part of MY story. In 1984 I was moving into my very first apartment. I was about to have my own kitchen. I had nothing to put in it of course except for a set of dishes I purchased at a yard sale and some glasses Id collected from work lol. My mother took me to the store and bought me a set of pots & pans. She also reached into her own utensil drawer and took out this very spatula. It was one of her older ones.

And this one!
There is entirely too much going on here.
Your eyes go all over the place when they SHOULD be focused on that model.
I know.
We have lots of toys we want to play with
But when it comes to promos,

But the DOF is spot on and doesn't distract from the model
Rule of thumb, until you learn to use your camera
minimalism is your friend!
