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 for work, we always… Continue reading
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 sky to allow the… Continue reading
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 car ferries that go… Continue reading
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 of it was a… Continue reading
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 we, humans, like horizontally… Continue reading
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 was on the grounds… Continue reading
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 picture, “properly” aligned –… Continue reading
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
