This was one of our earlier paddles under the Mackinac Bridge, taken somewhere near the middle of the bridge (the work was going on between the towers). I’m curious how crazy those workers thought we were and if it was more crazy that I thought they were. Picture taken with… Continue reading
I was told I should post some kayaking pictures. The issue with kayaking pictures is that they often are taken with so-so cameras, prominently feature other people or aren’t taken by me and thus don’t fit the requirements for *my* daily photo. But, there are some… This one is of… Continue reading
Artprize 2013 shot of the Grand River from downtown Grand Rapids – if you look close you can see the monkey sculptures hanging on the blue bridge. This one is not multiple shots, though I adjusted the tone curves enough that it is probably considered HDR. Picture taken with Canon… Continue reading
From Artprize 2013. I have a like of the large metal sculptures (when done skillfully and with enough detail to be impressive). Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 10-22mm lens @ 10mm, 1/15 sec shutter, f/16*, ISO 200 I only much later realized the depth of field on a wide… Continue reading
From the one spring break trip I did (it took until grad school) a picture of the cove off the back of our accommodation in Key West. This one took a bit of salvage since I didn’t punch in the right settings to take a panorama and it didn’t blend… Continue reading
I feel like pictures taken from airplanes usually turn out poorly, but I got lucky with this one. Picture taken with Canon SX130 IS, lens @ 6.74mm (38mm eq), 1/1000 sec shutter, f/3.5, ISO 80
A sunset picture with a different color palette… I took this long ago when driving around looking for houses back in 2008, which makes me think it was taken somewhere along the backroads of Vergennes Township. I didn’t have a tripod with me so it was taken at ISO1600 which… Continue reading
Shot from up at Uncle John’s Cider Mill taken many years ago. I love how the most lucrative use of farmland is now to turn it into a tourist attraction and charge people to run around in your field. Picture taken with Canon 350D, EF-S 17-85mm lens @ 20mm, 1/160… Continue reading
Picture of McKay Tower reflected in what I will call the PNC Bank building for lack of a better title. Picture taken with Canon 350D, EF-S 17-85mm lens @ 20mm, 1/400 sec shutter, f/14, ISO 400
If you turn about 120 degrees from yesterday’s picture, you can see the smokestacks of the T.B. Simon Power Plant including the MSU Smokestack. This plant is still in operation today and provides most of the campus’ power. If you happened to remember the Northeast blackout in 2003 – there should… Continue reading
