[singlepic id=1799 w=480 float=left] Sea cucumber for sale at the Tsukiji Fish Market in Japan. Some time later in my WPC related travels, I had an ‘opportunity’ to try sea cucumber… I don’t recommend it. Picture taken with Canon Rebel 350D, EF-S 17-85mm lens @ 50mm, 1/50 sec shutter, f/5.6,… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1211 h=480 float=left] 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… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1149 w=640 float=center] I told you this was coming, back in January… This is from the version of Austin trip where Steve came over and played tour guide. This is the Pennybacker Bridge going over Lake Austin. The road is the Loop 360 highway an according to Wikipedia is… Continue reading
[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=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=1121 w=480 float=left] From the same 2007 airshow – I caught a series of shots of this plane doing a loop and then decided to mess with combining them into a multiple-shot series. It was more just a curiosity of mine than any real attempt to make a convincing… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1120 w=480 float=left] I had a minor issue tonight while sorting out some more recent pictures, causing the loss of good amount of sorting work. Also, I haven’t had a chance to double check the pictures I was looking through to make sure I hadn’t posted them before –… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1081 w=480 float=left] From my first trip to Asia – a picture of the tuned mass damper at the top of Taipei 101. This is a 728 ton ‘ball’ of steel suspended near the top of a 101 story building so that the building doesn’t sway too much in… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1080 w=480 float=left] From the same airshow as the previous Blue Angels shot, this one is of one of my favorite aircraft as a kid, the A10. The fun facts that I remember, or as the case may be, misremember (see previous Wikipedia link if you want real information):… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1074 w=480 float=left] I’m not sure if I like airshows more than average, or if I’ve just been to more airshows than average, but I’m quite certain one of the two is true. Of course, airshows + any lens longer than 200mm = time to practice photography. With that… Continue reading
