“In every drop of water, there is a story of life.” Leena Arif
I’m playing around with my D800E and the 105mm Macro lens. Since the sprinklers were on in the garden it was a prime opportunity to get some cool water drop pics. I have alot to learn to maximize the potential of this lens . . . but I was pretty impressed with what I did get. Can you see my reflection in several of the water droplets? I had to really decrease the size of this for posting purposes. These images tend to start out (in RAW) at around 40 mb. I’m finding I really don’t need to do much post processing other than maybe a tad bit of sharpening. The SOOC quality is quite stunning. Coming from a crop factor camera (the D7000), it’s quite incredible.

Took the kids for a walk in the park behind our property today . . . first time I’ve been in the park this spring. It is lush, green and somewhat overgrown with all the rain we’ve had recently. It was a real treat to find the Salmon-berries ripe and ready to be picked. Yum! I took the first shot with my 35mm 1.8 lens ISO 400 and 1/1600 (overcast day and a steady breeze). Then I added the 20mm Macro Extension Tube for the second shot . . .

“If I saw something in my viewfinder that looked familiar to me, I would do something to shake it up.” Garry Winogrand
I’m playing around with my new Macro Extension tubes. I really want to do some Macro Photography because I like the abstractness that can be achieved. I really didn’t do much to this photo other than boost the clarity a bit. I used my 35mm 1.8 Prime lens with the 20mm extension tube. Wow! I’m kind of blown away with how much detail you can capture in an image . . . so anxious to do some more experimenting! Can you guess what this is? (Hint: it is a self portrait)
