An older picture from MSU’s campus. I really liked the row of these red trees down Farm Lane so I went wandering one day to take some pictures. I had a vision of how one of these shots would turn out, but I couldn’t quite get that to translate into… Continue reading
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 was on auto and… Continue reading
From 4th of July (actually the 5th) 2013 I hereby present this marvelous sunset over West Grand Traverse Bay. Was sitting at the Open Space (or whatever it’s called now) waiting for fireworks to start. I must have decided that I didn’t want to carry the SLR & accessories through… Continue reading
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 equivalent), f/2.6, 0.4 sec… Continue reading
A picture from last weekend. I’ve gone to Caberfae quite a bit and clear, non-windy days like this one are rare. And, the moon happened to be coming up over the ski hill. Picture taken with Samsung S4 (phone) with it’s 4.2mm lens (31mm equivalent), f/2.2, 1/5000 sec shutter, ISO… Continue reading
This is a winglet on some variety of airliner. Did you know that winglets can decrease the drag of a jet 3.5% to 4.5%? Now you do. Fun story, I’ve been sitting in the airport waiting for a delayed flight and looking out the window at a plane that we “could”… Continue reading
This was taken on a trip before I was officially involved in the WPC. I was overseas supporting various potential customers and met up with some of the people who were there on a WPC trip. I don’t remember who we were visiting at the time, which is probably good… Continue reading
I thought I had posted a night picture of this building before, but my quick searching says maybe not. Maybe I tagged it for later use. Anyway, this is the Frost Bank Building, which I was assured is the coolest building in all of Austin. Picture taken with Canon Rebel… Continue reading
From the Steve & Matt tour Austin trip – the UT scrimmage was going on that day and they had their mascot Bevo on display. That is one huge, but docile bull steer. Picture taken with Canon Rebel XTi, EF-S 17-85mm lens @ 47mm, f/16, 1/400 sec shutter, ISO 200
This is a fine example of a time where I should have just left the camera in the car. Steve and I went to a Nascar race near Austin. I wanted to try to get some pictures, and try I did, but from the stands there was simply no way… Continue reading
