“The very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream.” William Shakespeare
I grabbed this shot when hubby and I were out and about today. We each had a camera and were just shooting whatever was interesting down by the waterfront. When I brought the photos up in Lightroom, I wondered what it would look like if I masked our shadows with a photo of what we were each shooting. I was fascinated by the sun setting over the fishing boats, while hubby was more interested in the actual pier and water reflections. I love being out and about together like this.

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.
