It’s a flower that I took a picture of years ago in Florida with my old C-2040z. I’m not even sure what kind of flower it is (updated – it’s a Hibiscus), I just like it because it’s a simple flower. Oh, and it’s red. This was on the grounds… Continue reading
So, I made the comment that yesterday’s picture didn’t look quite right with the horizon made truly horizontal. Then I went to work and was questioned about that statement (that it was unclear, not that I was necessarily wrong, though that’s likely too). Here’s the same picture, “properly” aligned –… Continue reading
As long as we’re on the string of pictures from in and around Lincoln Park, here’s one looking South into the city. This was taken shortly after I got the 50mm f/1.8 lens for the camera so I was running around playing with it. Took a few shots toward the… Continue reading
I have no idea why we were awake for sunrise, but we were. And, I had a tripod and my camera, so I took a few brackets sets of pictures of the sun – obviously just after sunrise and behind a cloud. I attempted some HDR compilations, but they didn’t… Continue reading
I would refer to this as a poor picture of Chicago’s Hancock Building taken from a cool looking vantage point. This structure is just South of the Lincoln Park Zoo. I suppose it’s something of a shelter and you could have a picnic in there or whatnot (there are no… Continue reading
This is the reason why I have a hard time truly recommending an Android phone – Verizon pushed an update (NG6) which caused the phone to reliably crash every half hour or more frequently. Full factory reset didn’t fix the issue. They then pushed another update, NK1 I think, which… Continue reading
One day, several years ago (2009), someone at work noted that there were reportedly 18ft waves on Lake Michigan. A number of us decided to take a little lunch time road trip over to the lake to check it out. I absconded with the camera from work and this was… Continue reading
This is a shot from a spring 2008 trip East to Vermont / New Hampshire for a week of skiing. It’s taken from the top of Wildcat in NH (maybe, on second checking, I’m not as certian of that), though I’m not sure it’s completely fair to call it a… Continue reading
This one’s more literally titled – it’s a real life frog. One of the places I lived shortly after college (picture is from 2006) had a small pond beside the house. I’m not sure what all the tiny leaves are from, but they were completely covering the pond. I went… Continue reading
From the same 2007 airshow – I caught a series of shots of this plane doing a loop and then decided to mess with combining them into a multiple-shot series. It was more just a curiosity of mine than any real attempt to make a convincing picture. If I were… Continue reading
