[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=1135 w=480 float=left] The Cloud Gate – better known as the bean. Everyone who’s ever visited Chicago has posted a picture of this thing, BUT MINE HAS SNOW ON IT! OK, it’s not really new or creative, but I like the combination of snow on top, snow that has… 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
[singlepic id=1125 w=480 float=center] One day, several years ago (2009), someone at work noted that there were reportedly 18ft waves on Lake Michigan. A number of us decided to take a little lunch time road trip over to the lake to check it out. I absconded with the camera from… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1124 w=450 float=left] This is a shot from a spring 2008 trip East to Vermont / New Hampshire for a week of skiing. It’s taken from the top of Wildcat in NH (maybe, on second checking, I’m not as certian of that), though I’m not sure it’s completely fair… Continue reading
