[singlepic id=1897 w=480 float=left] This is the first picture I took of Cinque Terre from Monterosso al Mare looking South toward the rest of the towns. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 17-85mm lens @ 30mm, 1/80 sec shutter, f/16, ISO 100
[singlepic id=1896 h=480 float=left] Arch rock on the north end of Mackinac Island with, thanks to whatever influences in the lake, a nice variety of colors. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 18-135mm lens @ 18mm, 1/30 sec shutter, f/11, ISO 100
[singlepic id=1893 w=480 float=left] We were attached by seagulls while on Mackinac Island. I’m pretty sure we were not feeding them, but we may have had food out. I’m not sure how I concocted the camera settings used. I’m guessing they were from taking pictures of something else the night… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1889 h=480 float=left] Also from Artprize 2013. From giant metal dragons to reasonably large glass flowers. This was one of a series of four or five glass flower sculptures. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 17-85mm lens @ 17mm, 1/40 sec shutter, f/4.5, ISO 100
[singlepic id=1888 h=480 float=left] From Artprize 2013. This was by no means the most impressive metal sculpture (it was part sculpture, part playground and part pyro-pandering) but I guess dumping large amounts of propane into the air and igniting it is worth something. After all, I did take a picture. … Continue reading
[singlepic id=1877 w=480 float=left] For a few years, we thought that the polar bear exhibit was just a mean joke because there was not and, as far as we could tell, had never been a polar bear in the habitat. Then one showed up, and she looks sad (at least… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1876 w=480 float=left] OK – Thanksgiving and the shopping holiday are over, back to normal. Here’s one of the zoo’s amur tigers, which apparently used to be called Siberian tigers but the name was changed to better reflect their natural range. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF 70-300mm lens… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1872 w=480 float=left] I’ve apparently spent a lot of time wandering around zoos, and the Lincoln Park Zoo in particular. So, this picture is the start of the series “Lincoln Park Zoo Animals” (I felt very creative in coming up with that title). Independent of various thoughts on animals… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1870 w=480 float=left] Ending the airshow pictures as any proper airshow ends – with a shot of the Blue Angels. Good timing, but I must have been tracking #3 just a bit because the tail of #6 is slightly blurry. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF 70-300mm lens @… Continue reading
Gizmodo – Blue Angels Fat Albert[singlepic id=1869 w=480 float=left] Apparently I queued up a few more airshow pictures. I suspect I’ve posted a picture of this guy before, but this is Fat Albert – the Blue Angels transport C-130 Hercules. When I was a kid I saw a demo of… Continue reading
