[singlepic id=1793 h=480 float=left] I posted a picture of one of the chandeliers before, but I didn’t realize I had a picture that actually showed the size of some of the caverns left by the salt mining in Krakow, Poland. Also, special thanks to Olympus for putting an f/1.8 lens… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1791 w=480 float=left] Engelberg, Switzerland is still possibly the most picturesque little town I’ve ever been to. It seemed like it must have been completely kept in existence by tourism, but it didn’t have the level of commercialization that it seems most ski areas do. “It’s a German legend,… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1792 h=480 float=left] More a documentation picture than a really impressive scene – this shot of the Ariane 5 heavy lift rocket is from the Paris Airshow in 2001. Apparently there’s still a version of this in service today for putting satellites into orbit. Picture taken with Olympus C-2040Z,… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1790 w=480 float=left] A random sculpture item in Brussels and one of very few pictures that I prefer in black & white. Picture taken with Olympus C-2040Z, lens @ 7.3mm (40mm eq), 1/500 sec, f/3.6, ISO 100
[singlepic id=1789 h=480 float=left] If you’re asking yourself “What the hell is that thing?” I have no answers… it was a statue / sculpture for world peace or something in Luxembourg. Picture taken with Olympus C-2040Z, lens @ 17.5mm (96mm eq), 1/80 sec, f/2.3, ISO 100
[singlepic id=1787 w=480 float=left] Another from the “things I got to see, but of which every other picture is better because cameras don’t max out at 3mp now” collection. The London Eye / Millennium Wheel – before it was bought and rebranded by Coca-Cola. Not that Coke’s buying has any… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1786 w=480 float=left] La la la, I was once in Dublin and visited the Guinness Brewery. Picture taken with Olympus C-2040Z, lens @ 9.2mm (50mm eq), 1/400 sec, f/2.0, ISO 100
[singlepic id=1785 w=640] The view descending Mt. Washburn – somewhere along that ridge we had to break right and cross the snow which was the most adventurous part of the hike, particularly around the edges where we’d occasionally just drop through. Fortunately, we didn’t step on any any marmot burrows… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1781 w=640] The view from atop Mt. Washburn – it was a rather pretty day to be up there. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 18-135mm lens @ 18mm, 1/640 shutter, f/11, ISO 100
[singlepic id=1780 w=480 float=left] One of the black bears we saw in Yellowstone. Looking back on these pictures, I wish I had a better camera (actually, better lens would have been preferable) and had shot them all as RAW files. There was probably a quarter million dollars in lenses* standing… Continue reading
