Ol_Possum and I went out to shoot thinking this would be a good challenge to try out her new Nikon 40d. We found this gazing ball at the San Antonio Botanical Gardens, and it was just begging to be shot. If you look very closely you can see us both standing in front of it as well as the clouds in the reflections. I was testing out lenses from Rent Photo Stuff that I rented to do a wedding a few days later.
Here's hoping it does well.
