[singlepic id=1143 w=480 float=left] This one’s an obvious HDR – but in defense of unnatural post-processing, it looks better than any of the individual shots, regardless of how much processing is done to them. I’ve shared the picture before, here & here because apparently when we’ve stayed in Eindhoven, Netherlands… 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=1136 h=480 float=left] This one’s part of the “I’ve spent way too much time wandering around Lincoln Park Zoo” collection. It’s of the zoo’s prized camel. I felt I should include a picture to offset the number of panoramas I will inevitably post. I’ve seen rationalizations as to why… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1134 w=480 float=left] It’s a flower that I took a picture of years ago in Florida with my old C-2040z. I’m not even sure what kind of flower it is (updated – it’s a Hibiscus), I just like it because it’s a simple flower. Oh, and it’s red. This… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1132 w=480 float=center] So, I made the comment that yesterday’s picture didn’t look quite right with the horizon made truly horizontal. Then I went to work and was questioned about that statement (that it was unclear, not that I was necessarily wrong, though that’s likely too). Here’s the same… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1133 w=640 float=center] 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… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1132 w=480 float=left] 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… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1130 w=480 float=left] 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… Continue reading
