Leaving the zoo in favor of the aquarium, a clown fish nestled in an anemone… If you look close, this is a really poor picture as, in my experience, most from an aquarium are. There’s piles of chromatic aberration around all the anemone ends at the bottom, but I think… Continue reading
One of the female western lowland gorillas. Not as good a shot as the others because of the obvious nature of the man made habitat, but oh well, I felt the gorillas needed fair representation here. Picture taken with Canon 350D, EF-s 18-135mm lens @ SEL 18-200mm lens @ 85mm,… Continue reading
One of the meerkats at the Lincoln Park Zoo. Picture taken with Canon 350D, EF-S 18-135mm lens @ 79mm, f/5.6, 1/30 sec shutter, ISO 800.
One of the zoo’s lionesses – I don’t have such a good picture of the male, he was too lazy and just laid around all day. OK, he was also very old and has since died, plus, laying around all day is pretty much a cat’s job I think. Picture… Continue reading
Flamingos… Chilean Flamingos. I didn’t know there were multiple kinds. Apparently the Lincoln Park zookeepers are aware of the special diet they need to keep their plumage nice and bright. If I recall, this was taken on a pretty dull, overcast day which was probably good for limiting the contrast… Continue reading
Happy Halloween! This is the most Halloween picture I could find in my archives and it’s completely a shill for a place that I don’t really care about. I might have some pictures of pumpkins somewhere else in the archives, but I’m not sure where they’re stashed away. Pictures taken… Continue reading
Indeed it would appear that we did go up in the Pearl Tower as this perspective on the World Financial Center in Shanghai could only have been taken from there. There is an incredible amount of correction for haze on this picture that it’s really no longer a good quality… Continue reading
The Pearl Tower in Shanghai, China. I thought I had posted some of these before – but this was one of the buildings on what Josh called “Matt’s tall building tour” because when in foreign countries, there was often an observation deck / tourist attraction in the tall buildings. I… Continue reading
I was looking for a good past shot from Labor Day weekend – specifically hoping to find one of when we paddled under the Mackinac Bridge during the annual bridge walk. But, I had no good pictures from those events – at least not taken from the water. So, instead,… Continue reading
A mallard that was found on MSU’s campus near the Red Cedar wave. I was actually hanging around taking pictures of some friends kayaking on the wave but got distracted by the wildlife. Picture taken with Canon 350D, EF 70-300mm lens @ 300mm, f/6.3, 1/320 sec shutter, ISO 800
