Here’s a second shot of Half Dome taken at Sunset on our first day in Yosemite taken from Glacier Point. I believe there was a hike that we could have done ending at the point, but we had been doing other things throughout the day, so we just drove up… Continue reading
I’ve posted one similar to this before, but it was not this one, so I’m not breaking my rules. Of course, in some cases that means I could post what appeared to be the same picture for a month straight without truly repeating. This is a shot of Half Dome… Continue reading
Sunset in Grand Haven taken from Grand Haven State Park – this is an older shot from 2012 and taken at a time of year when it was warm out – which also had an influence on where the sun was coming down on the horizon, putting it North of… Continue reading
This one’s an obvious HDR – but in defense of unnatural post-processing, it looks better than any of the individual shots, regardless of how much processing is done to them. I’ve shared the picture before, here & here because apparently when we’ve stayed in Eindhoven, Netherlands for work, we always… Continue reading
This picture of the remnants of a sunset over the Western end of Bois Blanc remains one of my favorite pictures. From a strict picture file standpoint, it’s probably barely shrugworthy, but I thought it was really cool how there was just enough area of cloud-free sky to allow the… Continue reading
The lighthouse on the North side of Bois Blanc. This is from an long past trip that Steve and I took to Bois Blanc. For anyone who doesn’t know, Bois Blanc is a moderately sized island just east of Mackinac in Lake Huron. There are two car ferries that go… Continue reading
A little panorama capturing the North point of the Bois Blanc Island. This was one of my first ever uses of Autostitch to combine pictures into a single shot. I believe cameras were just starting to come with software which would help do this, but most of it was a… Continue reading
This one’s part of the “I’ve spent way too much time wandering around Lincoln Park Zoo” collection. It’s of the zoo’s prized camel. I felt I should include a picture to offset the number of panoramas I will inevitably post. I’ve seen rationalizations as to why we, humans, like horizontally… Continue reading
The Cloud Gate – better known as the bean. Everyone who’s ever visited Chicago has posted a picture of this thing, BUT MINE HAS SNOW ON IT! OK, it’s not really new or creative, but I like the combination of snow on top, snow that has fallen to the ground… Continue reading
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
