[singlepic id=1277 w=640] Panorama of Empire, MI which is what you see if you look the other direction from the top of the dunes. Pictures taken with Sony a6000, SELP1650 lens @ 40mm, 1/200 sec shutter, f/9.0, ISO 100
[singlepic id=1276 w=480 float=left] Went up to Traverse City last weekend and made it out to Empire for sunset. Taken from the top of one of the dunes (I don’t think it has a name) just south of Empire. We kind of got robbed of a true sunset because of… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1274 w=480 float=left] The natural environment of the previously shown Ball Cactus. Some Colorado state park outside of Boulder. Not sure it was anything special on a national scale, but it was close enough to get to in the free time we had on the trip. Picture taken with… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1273 w=480 float=left] Apparently this is a Ball Cactus. Someone was not very creative with their plant namings. Found a bunch of these outside of Boulder, CO when there for one of the earliest work trips I recall being on. Picture taken with Canon Rebel 350D, EF-S 17-85mm @… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1272 w=480 float=left] Another older picture from MSU’s campus. This is the MSU Engineering Building in the Fall taken from the walkway between the Engineering Building and the International Center, which is actually the back side of the Engineering Building. Picture taken with Olympus C-2040z, lens @ 7.3mm (41mm… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1271 w=480 float=left] This is probably recognizable, being the Roman Colosseum, but from the inside showing the under-floor structure. At the time I didn’t figure I’d ever be back, but as it turns out I did have a chance to visit again about ten years later. I’ll eventually look through… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1270 w=480 float=left] This is inside the Vatican Museum – it’s the Sphere Within Sphere sculpture. Apparently there are many versions of this sculpture in various settings. Picture taken with Olympus C2040z, lens @ 7.3mm (41mm equiv), f/3.6, 1/400 sec, ISO 100
[singlepic id=1269 w=480 float=left] It took a bit of digging to figure out what this was since I didn’t really know where to start. If I have my information correct, this is the Altar of the Fatherland in Piazza Venezia. I had no idea what it was when I took… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1268 w=480 float=left] Here’s a different arch, in a different country… This is the Arch of Constantine outside the Colosseum in Rome. There’s too much fence in the picture for it to be really good, but I felt like it went along with the Arc de Triumphe from a… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1267 h=480 float=left] Second shot of the Eiffel Tower at night. I like the other one a little better, but this one’s not bad. Picture taken with Olympus C2040z, lens @ 7.3mm (41mm equiv), f1.8, 1/10 sec, ISO 100
