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
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
I had a minor issue tonight while sorting out some more recent pictures, causing the loss of good amount of sorting work. Also, I haven’t had a chance to double check the pictures I was looking through to make sure I hadn’t posted them before – because that violates the… Continue reading
Since there’s no reason anyone would understand the title of this post, I shall explain. This was the rental car that Janet and I had in Colorado-Utah-Arizona. I’ve mentioned it previously, but it was lovingly referred to as The Frog. It was great, except the transmission shift algorithm was abysmal…. Continue reading
This was taken during Artprize 2012 – though it has nothing to do with Artprize, it was just a time when we were downtown in the late afternoon where the light was good for this shot. Picture is looking North up the Grand River. I can’t decide if I like… Continue reading
Toward the end of the first hike, we descended into the town of Vernazza allowing the vantage point for this picture. Vernazza is the second town in Cinque Terre (when heading South). I have probably a dozen pictures from the five towns that I really like. I think that the… Continue reading
This is another picture that I think is not actually a good picture, but I find it entertaining. It was taken with a wide lens, close to the ground, accentuating the lean. I guess we did it right… Pisa is a tourist trap. Don’t bother. But, if you do bother,… Continue reading
