@Obong

A camera is a conduit—to creation, creativity, and life through a lens.⠀ ⠀ My first serious camera was a generous holiday gift from my parents. I was 12 years old, and when I opened the box, the potential seemed immense. Many, many years later, I still see the camera the same way: As a ticket to anywhere you creatively wish to go, with unlimited potential.⠀ ⠀

@Obong

New cameras mean new possibilities.⠀ ⠀ When the Nikon mirrorless system arrived, it made it possible for me to explore techniques and styles of photography that were previously beyond reach. The electronic viewfinder made it possible to see and compose in ways that are simply impossible using an optical viewfinder—and I could do it with all of the lenses I already owned. Those features, and more, made the mirrorless camera a necessity for me going forward. With incredible…

@Obong

The spring is a new season of new colors to photograph. Shot with the Nikon Z 6 and NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S

@Obong

Life is a highway. I want to ride it all night long, but would definitely prefer the day because you miss all the scenery at night. . Nikon Z6ii Nikkor24-70 f4 70mm

@Obong

Can’t even do justice to the scale of the mountains… sorry, Volcanoes 🤯… in Oregon . . Nikon Z6ii Nikkor Z 24-70 f4 S 70mm 1/1600s f4 ISO 250

@Obong

I must say Summer sunrises on the Cape are pretty tops! . . Nikon Z6ii Nikkor F 50mm f1.8G

@Obong

Because all I do is jump, jump . . Since no one asked.. Nikon Z6ii Nikkor Z 70-200 f2.8

@Obong

Snapped this almost by accident. The thunderbirds were flying overhead in Durham nh during the Pease airshow. Turned around and just so happened to catch them over the neighboring farm.

@Obong

Castle Island at sunset. Great spot to exercise, picnic, and watch the planes roll in.

@Obong

A San Francisco original.. dont ask the location my lips are sealed . . Nikon Z6ii Nikkor Z 70-200 f2.8

@Obong

This morning was a movie... get it...? Because "movie road"...? Roll Tide. . To be honest this image gives me a lot of regret. It reminds me I'm still not where I want to be as a photographer. . Nikon Z6ii Nikkor Z 24-70 f4 S 38mm 1/400s f4 ISO 500

@Obong

Another cool shot from the Pease Air show @afthunderbirds

@Obong

Spent all afternoon last sunday trying to get the perfect shot. Turns out i almost got this one of two of the @afthunderbirds over the neighbors farm almost by accident

@Obong

25 years in Boston and never seen a view this good.

@Obong

If you listen closely, you can hear John snoring in the second pic. Have a blessed new week mates! . .

@Obong

A wild morning in Patagonia. Howling wind, rain, snow, and epic light are pretty good ingredients for landscape photography. #landscapephotography #patagonia #southamerica #nikonnofilter #chile #mothernature

@Obong

A white egret hunting in the soft morning light in the bayou Shot with Nikon Z7ii | Nikkor 70-200 f2.8 S | 1.4x teleconverter

@Obong

For me the camera is a tool for exploration and discovery. In this image I can see transformation. I can see the texture of a caterpillar as well as the wings of a butterfly. Details of metamorphosis that I could never see with my eyes. This world is always teaching and I am always learning. Photographed with my Nikon Z9 with nikkor105s and nikon r1c1 macro lighting kit. Putting one light behind the chrysalis helped bring out transparency and texture.

@Obong

Returning to South America with a new found love for birds feels like I have discovered a new world that I have simply passed by before. It is glorious and fills me with hope for all the things I will open my eyes to and see in the future. There is beauty times infinity on this 🌎!! This is a sword-billed hummingbird photograph in Ecuador. Shot with Nikon Z9 and nikkor500mmf56pf. I photographed on dx mode to get a tighter shot. So impressed with the detail in the file even in…

@Obong

I love bugs and all their eyeball patterns. So much beauty in our backyards and local parks. Photographed with a preproduction Nikon Z9 and a Nikkor105s_micro.

@Obong

A pika ball. The size of a small potato, I definitely love the shape of these little critters. Photographed for my digital story with nikon z7II and nikkor500mmf56pf. Converted to black and white in adobe lightroom

@Obong

Pikas may be one of my new favorite animals. I love everything about them including their little paws. Photographed for my digital story with Nikon z7II and nikkor500mmf56pf. I photographed at a shallow depth of field (f/6.3) to isolate the paws and the face from the background.

@Obong

Had way too much fun playing in a sunflower field today with two of my favorite people on the planet. I love 🌻s!! I took these with my Nikon z7ii on multiple exposures mode average with 4 exposures. Which is your favorite?

@Obong

Monarch Pinwheel. Playing around with in camera multiple exposures with my Nikon z7, ftz adapter and nikkor500mm.

@Obong

Watching these beautiful anemones I just got from the amazing flower farm @harmonyhrvst, I noticed the movement. These flowers open and close often as if they are dancing. It’s beautiful. I wanted to play around with the movement and color and try to incorporate it into the images. I photographed these with Nikon z7II using rear sync on my flash. I moved the camera and lens during the slow exposures. Do you have a fav? I had so much fun taking these!

@Obong

When photographing these beautiful anemones from @harmonyhrvst I was taken by how much they moved like they were dancing. They would close at night then open in the morning, which brought so much light to my day! I wanted to show the movement, so I took Timelapse of their morning openings. Then I stacked the Timelapses in photoshop, did some dodging and burning and created this piece. Timelapse shot with my Nikon z7II and nikkor2470.

@Obong

How do you feel when you see this image? I am always trying to put emotions into my images and as I get more and more into photographing flowers, I find it challenging to see what kind of feeling plants can evoke. My first visit to the sunflower farm, the flowers were open, big, beautiful, colorful and bees were flitting about. Three days later, the whole vibe changed. As these stunning flowers shine so bright, they only do so for a short period of time, then they shrivel…

@Obong

Making some digital art today. I took a photo over the weekend of a sunflower. I am so drawn to pattern, so to emphasize it, I reflected a piece of the sunflower 4 times in adobe photoshop. Photographed with my Nikon z7, ftz adapter and nikkor105mm.

@Obong

So this is me saying thank you to my amazing 500 Subscribers! ❤️ I dedicate this piece to you ⬇️ I feel almost like I can see the cosmos when looking into this frogs eyes. The patterns amaze me. This is an image stack of 36 images taken with a nikon z7, ftz adapter, a promasterphoto extension tube and nikkor105mm handheld.

@Obong

Plaid. Seeing this leaf backlight by the sun, I was instantly taken by its complementary colors and pattern. I wanted to play with the pattern and create almost a textile with it. So I put my camera on multiple exposure (overlay mode average) and set it to capture 3 exposures. Each shot I rotated the camera 90 degrees. I used the ghosting provided in the electronic viewfinder of my Nikon z7 to line it all up.

@Obong

I love watching dragonflies in flight and love how precise they land. A Needham’s Skimmer against a cloudy sky. Photographed with my Nikon z7 and nikkorz2470f4. Dragonflies often fly back and forth from the same spot. I focused in on this reed that the dragonfly had been on before and waited. Sure enough it can back and I was able to get a few shots while in flight.

@Obong

First attempt at photographing hummingbirds today. So many thoughts.... the patterns are crazy amazing even in hard to see places like the underside of their neck. They are so tiny and cute. They are super fast and pretty hard to photograph. My last thought, I am now obsessed and may just have to go out again tomorrow. Still smiling. Photographed with my nikon z7 ftz adapter and nikkor500mm

@Obong

During a bright and hot day, I watched the sun speckle the frog pond. I waited and waited. It finally speckled just right and hit the eyes of this amazing frog.

@Obong

I ❤️ butterflies! I photographed these beautiful Eastern Tailed Blues just this morning with my nikonu z7, ftz adapter and nikkor105macro. Beauty is all around us.

@Obong

I love watching patterns mix and come together, like on the wings of a monarch. Butterfly populations seem to be way down this year. I have a few ideas for why...but not really sure what’s going on. They definitely make the world more beautiful. Photographed with my nikon z7 ftz adapter nikkor35mm and an extension tube. I have been playing with using extension tubes on some of my favorite Nikkor lenses so I can focus even closer.

@Obong

This purple flower is only the size of a nickel. It was captured at closest focus and minimum aperture, creating an isolated stamen surrounded by very soft petals. Nikon Z 9 | Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S | 1/1250 @ f/4

@Obong

The natural symmetry of a beautiful flower in bloom—using only reflected light, a very sharp macro lens, and the Z 9 in Focus Shift Mode. Nikon Z 9 | Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S | 127 RAW Captures | ISO 400 | 1/160 @ f/8

@Obong

Simple but dramatic contrasts between pale flowers and the dark bark of a cherry tree. Absolutely love cherry blossom season here in Brooklyn. Photographed with my Nikon Z 9 and 105mm f/2.8 S Nikkor. Incredible how the Z 9 AF locks focus on the anthers of this tiny flower.

@Obong

By using a 10x jewelers loupe, I was able to discover this interesting flower that’s about the size of a pinky fingernail. Nikon Z 6 | FTZ | AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED | ISO 1600 | 1/40 @ f/32

@Obong

So many delicious choices... Alley photographed in San Francisco, choose what you would like for lunch! This was photographed a few years ago with my Nikon D5 and Nikkor 8-15mm fisheye lens at 15mm.

@Obong

Ideal for filling the frame with fast-moving subjects like birds, airplanes, wildlife and sports. From the sharp contrast of small branches to the finest feathers of distant birds, every detail is rendered with stunning precision with the NIKKOR Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S.

@Obong

28 still photographs, taken in 1.4 seconds with the Nikon Z 9 set at 20 frames-per-second. Here, every shot is in focus, and every one is dramatically different from the next— all those wing formations, all the details, in less than a second and a half.

@Obong

The come hither “wing wave” as displayed by an anhinga. Photographed with my Nikon Z9, FTZII adapter, NIKKOR 500mm PF lens, isolating the bird and angling the camera so that vibrant reflections fill the background.

@Obong

Bass face + ultra wide is always a winning combination. My friend Tully ripping it up with the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 Z at 14mm. With ultra wide lenses, the closer you are to the action, the better. Shots taken with Nikon Z 7.

@Obong

The shot 🤝 The scene. Taking in all the glimmers of spring, including crocus along my street. Made with the Nikon Z 9 and Nikon 105mm f/2.8, wide open. I really love the dreamy quality of this lens, it has a painterly quality I love about so much Nikkor glass.

@Obong

Backstage at the Beacon Theater. The tools of the trade. This is the best gear I’ve ever used, hands down. The Nikon Z 9 is just a beast

@Obong

It’s not difficult to see the resemblance to meticulously arranged spools of ribbon or rows of candy, but the patterns on the wing of this Madagascar Sunset Moth are more beautiful than anything made in a factory. Nikon Z 7II

@Obong

The soft petals of this flower provide a lovely frame for the even more delicate inner textures that are concealed inside. Nikon Z 9 | Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S | 5500K White Balance | ISO 200 | 1/30 @ f/4.5

@Obong

The ocean awaits you 🌊🌞

@Obong

Cherry blossoms with the stellar Nikon 105mm f/2.8 and Nikon Z 9. One of my favorite ways to photograph small flowers like this is at maximum aperture with elements in the foreground rendered out of focus to create framing and layers within the image.

@Obong

Reminded by my good friend that it's been 13 years since we got to hang at the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Just an incredible night full of legends. Metallica here with Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Ron Wood, Joe Perry, Flea… One of my favorite nights.

@Obong

Heading for Norway.. gorgeous morning at Schiphol Airport, a very familiar stopover.

@Obong

The photographer urge to shoot wide open. Crocus with the Nikon Z 9 and 105mm f/2.8S Micro Nikkor. I'm in love with the painterly rendering of this lens.

@Obong

The beauty of a sunflower. Nikon Z 9 | Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S | 5500K White Balance | 67 RAW Captures | ISO 400 | 1/50 @ f/8

@Obong

So often a subject changes from what I thought it would be, to what it actually turns out to be. It reminds me of the value of an open mind and to always try seeing things anew. Nikon Z 9 | Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S

@Obong

This makeup brush has too many bristles to count, but they were certainly fun to light and photograph. Nikon Z 9 | Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S | 57500K White Balance | ISO 200 | 1/800 @ f/5.6

@Obong

The arching beauty of a fern frond. From the stalk to the apex is a mere two inches in length. Its small size makes it a perfect subject for both a macro lens, and focus stacking. Nikon Z 7II | Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S |

@Obong

The delicate bristles of a fan paintbrush, illuminated from below and behind, reproduced in monochrome and finished with a slight cyanotype tint. Nikon Z 7II | Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S | ISO 125 | 1/125 @ f/14 |

@Obong

The prismatic color of oil, water, and light. The large bubble is the size of a pencil eraser, while the small ones are about the size of a pencil tip. Nikon Z 7II | AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED

@Obong

Discovering creative inspiration and fresh ideas can sometimes feel challenging, but the camera can reveal interesting photographs concealed within kitchen objects we see or use every day. Nikon Z 7II | Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S |

@Obong

The soft patterns and parallel lines of this kitchen whisk almost seem to glow—simply because of the shallow focus and beautiful bokeh of a macro lens. Nikon Z 7II | Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S | 4600K WB | ISO 400 | 1/500 @ f/5.6 |

@Obong

Light follows a fascinating path through the edges, facets, and whorls of a beautiful glass bowl. A single source provided the illumination, and a macro lens captured the gentle undulations.

@Obong

Impressions of Spring with the Nikon Z 9 and 55mm f/1.2 CRT Nikkor. This lens is a rare gem in my collection due to the dreamlike character and ultra shallow depth of field at f/1.2. Love that the FTZ adapter makes using even exotic lenses like this from the 1960s easy.

@Obong

The shadow being cast of this whisky glass is actually not from the glass seen in the image, but by a second glass behind the background illuminated by some rose-colored light. Nikon D850 | PC-E Micro Nikkor 45mm f/2.8D ED |

@Obong

Combining this bar tool with a reflective surface, colorful light, and an unexpected angle, a picture emerges from an ordinary kitchen object. Nikon Z7 | AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED | SB-5000 Speedlights

@Obong

Bright field photography requires a “field of light” behind the subject to produce all of the visible illumination, while the object is defined by the edges that remain in shadow. Nikon D850 | PC-E Micro Nikkor 85mm f/2.8D |

@Obong

Shadows take on all kinds of shapes and forms, but when they pass through glass, something magical seems to happen. Nikon Z7 | F-Mount Adapter FTZ | AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.4G | 5000K White Balance | ISO 800 | 1/5 @ f/8

@Obong

If you enjoy the occasional cocktail, you probably recognize this shapely bar tool. It’s from my kitchen cabinet. It works well as a strainer, but alsol as an abstract subject when blended with some colorful light. Nikon Z7 |

@Obong

The photography method being employed here is called dark field photography and its simplicity lends itself well to glass. Dark field photography strips everything away until all that’s left is form and light. Nikon D850 |

@Obong

This is something from my kitchen that I put to use every day. Almost everyone owns a version of it and the only thing that’s unique about it is the way it’s been photographed. Any idea what it might be? Nikon D850 |

@Obong

Mixing colors is immersive—and insanely fun. The interplay between hues, the combinations they produce, and finding the appropriate balance is an artistic challenge. Nikon Z7 | FTZ | PC-E Micro NIKKOR 45mm f/2.8D | 1/160 @ f/9

@Obong

These "explosions of light" are simply light rays refracting through droplets of water photographed at high magnification. Nikon D850 | AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED | 5250K | RAW Capture | ISO 100 | 1/1000 sec @ f/5.6 |

@Obong

This is a bicycle disk brake in colorful silhouette—and surprisingly, it also strongly resembles the silhouette of the iris of a camera lens! Nikon Z7 | F-Mount Adapter FTZ | AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED |

@Obong

Bubbles and light are an endless playground for photographers. Using oil, water, and dish detergent you can create hundreds of bubbles, or just a few, and then illuminate them in countless ways. Nikon Z 7II

@Obong

With a fine macro lens, even the most common subjects can be transformed into something abstract and intriguing—which hopefully makes the picture more interesting. Nikon Z 9 | Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S | #Photography

@Obong

Macro subjects can be found in the natural world, or from the world around you. In this case, the subject is from the mind of a designer who sees shape and form as the first consideration. Can you guess what it is? Nikon Z7 |

@Obong

Egret display at Wakodahatchee Wetlands in Delray Beach, Florida. There is a lot of bird activity right now, it's fascinating to watch the various gestures. Photographed with my Nikon Z 9, FTZII adapter, Nikkor 500mm PF lens,1.4x

@Obong

Anhingas are beautiful with vivid eye coloration during breeding season. They're fascinating to watch, equally skilled above and below the water. Sunning pose to dry the wings, photographed with the Nikon Z 9, FTZII, & AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF lens.

@Obong

A yellow silicone pressure cooker egg rack, and a rubber drawer liner used as a background.

@Obong

Photographing this Hibiscus flower is deeply immersive—as is the refinement later on the computer. 103 Focus Shift captures were captured and blended together for the final image. Nikon Z 7II | Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S |

@Obong

The exposure scale, edge textures, and subtle colors of a Wynne’s vintage light meter from around 1900 captured with some controlled lighting and the very sharp Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S macro lens.

@Obong

The internal structure of this baby fern is simply elegant. The newly sprouted growth is very small—about the size of a fingernail—and a wonderful subject for a macro lens. Nikon Z 7II | Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S |

@Obong

This baby fern has beautiful symmetry and sensuous textures, and few things accentuate those natural qualities the way light can. Nikon Z 7II | Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S | RAW Capture | ISO 200 | 1/400 @ f/8 |

@Obong

The arching beauty of a fern frond. From the stalk to the apex is a mere two inches in length. Its small size makes it a perfect subject for both a macro lens, and focus stacking. Nikon Z 7II | Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S |

@Obong

A pyramid of colorful pencils, an interesting background, and some strong directional lighting to reveal the texture in the freshly sharpened tips. Nikon Z 7II | Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S | ISO 250 | 1/160 @ f/16 |

@Obong

One single light source is providing all of the illumination in this image. Perhaps more surprisingly, that one source is being bounced from a reflector no bigger than a lens cap. Nikon Z 7II | Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S | 5750K WB | ISO 1600 | 1/400 @ f/8 |

@Obong

By placing this dish upside down on a sheet of glass and positioning the camera at a very low angle, I was able to capture a near mirror image of the wavy shape of its glass edge. Nikon Z 7II | Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S | 5750K WB | ISO 200 | 1/500 @ f/3.5 |

@Obong

This beautiful dish continues to offer a variety of interpretations by simply blending the subject with high magnification, interesting angle, revealing light, and a very sharp lens. Nikon Z 7II | Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S | 80 RAW Captures | ISO 400 | 1/800 @ f/8 |

@Obong

Photographing at 1:1, or life-size, reveals the scales on the wing, the fluffy scales near the abdomen, and the rich hues of color that alert predators to it’s toxicity. Nikon Z 7II | AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED

@Obong

Moving in close reveals textures that are unseeable with the naked eye. A 5X magnification of the Madagascar Sunset Moth displays not only what exists in nature, but the amazing ability of the camera to capture it. Nikon Z 7II

@Obong

It’s not difficult to see the resemblance to meticulously arranged spools of ribbon or rows of candy, but the patterns on the wing of this Madagascar Sunset Moth are more beautiful than anything made in a factory. Nikon Z 7II

@Obong

The wing tip of this Madagascar Sunset Moth is mirage of flowing motion and repeating patterns. It’s an amazing variety of textures in an area that’s only 3 millimeters across. Nikon Z 7II

@Obong

This colorful reflection in a pastry server uses two tablets displaying the same image to create both a sharp reflection and an out of focus background. Nikon Z 9 | Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S | ISO 400 | 1/125 @ f/4

@Obong

The downy barbs of a feather captured with the new Nikon Z 7II. Rich tonal range, silky transitions between tones, and deep resolving power. Nothing short of remarkable. Nikon Z 7II | AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED

@Obong

This image of a peacock feather is the final result of 101 individual captures that were made using the new Nikon Z 7II using a process called Focus Shift Shooting. Nikon Z 7II | AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED

@Obong

Each small adjustment to the single source of illumination completely changed the qualities that were revealed in this lovely Silver Tail Pheasant feather. Nikon Z 7II | AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED

@Obong

For me the camera is a tool for exploration and discovery. In this image I can see transformation. I can see the texture of a caterpillar as well as the wings of a butterfly. Details of metamorphosis that I could never see with my eyes. This world is always teaching and I am always learning. Photographed with my Nikon z9 and nikkor105s and nikon r1c1 macro lighting kit. Putting one light behind the chrysalis helped bring out transparency and texture.

Three espresso spoons reflecting in the surface of a tablet. Two different displayed images created both a sharp reflection, and an out of focus background.⁠ ⁠ Nikon Z 9 | Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S | 5500K White Balance | ISO 200 | 1/13 @ f/8

@Obong

The ideal camera is one that removes friction between the picture you imagine, and the picture you create. That’s the camera to have.⁠ ⁠ This is the new Nikon Z 9 mirrorless camera. Although I just opened the box, I already know this camera will allow me to make pictures I never could have made previously.⁠ ⁠ When the Z mirrorless was introduced, it completely opened my mind to what’s possible with a camera. (Embarrassingly, I once got choked up speaking to more than 200…

@Obong

Before I turn my pristine Z 9 camera into a used Z 9 camera, I thought I would make some macro images of some of my favorite contours of the new flagship. Nikon Z 7II | Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S | 1/80 @ f/4.0 |

@Obong

By using a 10x jewelers loupe, I was able to discover this interesting flower that’s about the size of a pinky fingernail. Nikon Z 6 | FTZ | AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED | ISO 1600 | 1/40 @ f/32

Color, light, and where to place the camera is always an exploration. That’s the joyful visual journey of every photographer. Nikon Z7 | F-Mount Adapter FTZ | PC-E Micro NIKKOR 85mm f/2.8D | 4500K White Balance | ISO 800 | 0.3 Sec @ f/22

@Obong

Cherries continue to peak in Brooklyn. Late afternoon sun, sky peeking through dense blooms and the beautiful 55m f/1.2 CRT Nikkor doing the work here on my Nikon Z 9. I love the character of this old lens, it's a joy to use my oldest lens on my newest camera.

@Obong

Cherry blossoms with the Nikon 105mm f/2.8 Z MC. Including a few flowers on the left side of the frame and letting them fall out of focus creates easy depth and visual interest, highlighting the beautiful character of this lens. Photographed on my Nikon Z 9.

@Obong

This maze of metal—and the billowy soft patterns of the background—are the intricate structures supporting the faucet of a kitchen sink. Nikon Z 7II | Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S | 4500K White Balance | ISO 320 | 1/1000 @ f/8

@Obong

Aligning the spirals of the actual ribbon with the reflection in the mirror it’s resting on creates a slightly disorienting illusion of the ribbon passing through a surface. Nikon D850 | AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED

@Obong

Carrying a proper camera inspires you to see through the eye of a lens. These are reflections of reflections, within reflections. A single exposure, of three different subjects, reflecting one another in a window display.
