This was an unmarked side-waterfall along the White River Trail up toward Mt. Rainier. I like the end product better than I thought I would – should have taken the time to pull out the tripod, because the 0.8 second shutter speed is pretty obvious. Picture taken with Sony a6000,… Continue reading
Lake of the Angels campsite – this was probably the coolest campsite I’ve stayed at. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @ 200mm, 1/80 sec, f/16, ISO 100
Day 4 entailed a lot of driving, with a few stops along the Oregon coast mixed in. Our first attempt was a lighthouse very near Newport, but the line of cars just to get into the park was extending beyond visible range of the entrance so we took the hint… Continue reading
This was one of the shots that comprised the previous moon HDR pic. The images in that one weren’t really that well aligned, so everything was quite soft. This one didn’t have quite the detail on the edges, but overall it’s a much better picture. Picture taken with Sony a6000,… Continue reading
Day 3 was mostly spent at Crater Lake. I like to relax on vacation by demanding that we wake up in time for sunrise and go to take pictures. In light of this, we got up early to head to Watchman overlook with our coffee, but finding clouds there, backtracked… Continue reading
Just a duck, nothing special. She (guess) was chilling in the pond just outside the Lincoln Park Zoo. I thought it made for a good picture. I took a few more, but on the shutter speed was roughly halved and they were mostly blurry. Too bad, because the second shot was framed slightly… Continue reading
This was the other decent fireworks shot I got – same show over Navy Pier as the previous. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL18200 lens @ 65mm, f/11, 10 sec shutter, ISO 100
I think this picture is only OK at best (in part because my tripod was a smashed down backpack) but I’ve never been good at getting pictures of fireworks that I think are even decent. I think this one is OK – low ISO, and a 4-6 second shutter. This… Continue reading
A Green Tree Python – from the Lincoln Park Zoo collection. I could do a bit more to fix the noise, but overall I think it’s pretty good for a shot taken at ISO 1600. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL18200 lens @ 112mm, f/9.0, 1/20 sec shutter, ISO 1600
Grand Haven Lighthouse Sunset – a bit grainy (this one is just one shot with the shadows brought up a lot) but nice none the less. Remember when Lake Michigan was below freezing and Lake Michigan was ice as far as you could see? You do now… As the temperature… Continue reading
