[singlepic id=1602 h=480 float=left] Just a duck, nothing special. She (guess) was chilling in the pond just outside the Lincoln Park Zoo. I thought it made for a good picture. I took a few more, but on the shutter speed was roughly halved and they were mostly blurry. Too bad, because the second… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1601 h=480 float=left] This was the other decent fireworks shot I got – same show over Navy Pier as the previous. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL18200 lens @ 65mm, f/11, 10 sec shutter, ISO 100
[singlepic id=1600 h=480 float=left] I think this picture is only OK at best (in part because my tripod was a smashed down backpack) but I’ve never been good at getting pictures of fireworks that I think are even decent. I think this one is OK – low ISO, and a… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1599 h=480 float=left] A Green Tree Python – from the Lincoln Park Zoo collection. I could do a bit more to fix the noise, but overall I think it’s pretty good for a shot taken at ISO 1600. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL18200 lens @ 112mm, f/9.0, 1/20… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1239 w=480 float=left] The Hancock Building in Chicago, good only for it’s interesting perspective. Taken with my favorite camera to gripe about, the SX130. I can’t complain too much, as this was taken in the dark, handheld. Picture taken with Canon SX130 IS, lens at 5mm (36mm equiv), f/3.4,… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1136 h=480 float=left] 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… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1135 w=480 float=left] 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… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1132 w=480 float=center] 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… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1133 w=640 float=center] 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… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1132 w=480 float=left] 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… Continue reading
