[singlepic id=1220 w=480 float=left] I’m paranoid when it comes to this kind of activity – I don’t like the idea of falling through the ice into 32 degree water. Not that it wouldn’t have been cool to go tromp around on the icebergs, but when I can see the melt… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1218 w=480 float=left] The general wisdom, I think, I that sunset pictures don’t actually include the sun. I’m still learning this Sony camera thing, but as far as I can tell it will only do bracketed shots 5 x .7EV apart, which means a max of plus or minus… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1216 w=540 float=left] Yesterday’s picture went over well, so here’s a second picture from the same setting. It was taken 18 minutes after the previous photo. Neither has had any color balance adjustment – though the camera apparently doesn’t write its white balance setting to EXIF, so maybe it… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1214 w=480 float=left] Here’s one from 2003 at the Venetian Festival in Charlevoix, MI. It was shot just after sunset looking out toward Lake Michigan as the boats were lining up to come into the harbor for the boat parade. Picture taken with Olympus C-2040z, lens @ 21mm (120mm… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1148 w=640 float=center] Presented here is a picture from along the Cedar River accessed from the back end of my grandparents land in Cedar. Mark and I hiked back there a few years ago in the winter. The river was frozen across as you can see on the right… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1139 w=480 float=center] 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… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1137 h=480 float=left] 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… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1138 w=480 float=left] 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… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1117 w=480 float=left] Another part to yesterday’s story. It was cold – 25F with a breeze. This is to be expected given that it’s Michigan at the end of January. I didn’t have a hat, or more accurately, wasn’t aware that I had a hat available, so I was… Continue reading
