You can't really tell, but this photo was taken on the end of a very long, very rickety old pier.  I felt bad asking these two to head over all these broken boards with the waves splashing water on them, but both were game.  Then came the hard part of me gathering up enough nerve to follow them out on said rickety pier with all my equipment strapped to me- I was terrified that a wave would come and drop me right into the ocean and all my lenses and cameras would be ruined!  In order to decrease my chance of this happening, I left everything but one lens and one camera on the sand and followed them out.  The results were worth traversing the treacherous Atlantic waters!
