Fujifilm X-T1 and Fujinon XF 35mm f/1.4 R Lens – 1/250 @ f/2.8

This is a photo of an old Oyster processing plant on the South Shore of Long Island.  Look at the pile of shucked oysters on the work table.   The shores around Long Island were so rich in oysters that crushed oyster shells were actually used for landfill in some parts of Manhattan (as mentioned in the movie “The Bone Collector”). I loved the way the light was beaming in through the skylights in the roof rafters.

Nikon D610 and Tamron 90mm Di SP Macro Lens – 1/250 @ f/7.1 – ISO 200

I wanted to show the detailed texture of these fern leaves so I decided to use the full frame sensor on the Nikon D610 to maximize the detail in the shadow areas.  Please note although the aperture is set to f/7.1 the depth of field is still very shallow when using any sort of macro or close up lens combined with a full frame sensor.  Just a little tip to keep in mind for when you go out and shoot macro.
