Who’s taller?

July 4th we spent up in Chicago.  Since we only live a few hours away it’s always a great place to vacation.  I got up one morning at sunrise and headed out to Alder’s Planetarium to capture pictures of downtown.  After shooting over 100 pics with my Leica 21mm super elmar and my Olympus OM-D with the Panasonic 7-14mm lens I decided to get the noctilux out to capture some great depth of field shots.  Here is one them.

May the force be with you

All I can say is that the past few weeks have been crazy.  Between work and boards I have not had much time to work on my blog.  I’m hoping soon, that will change.

I recently bought a Leica 35mm summilux.  This is probably the hottest going lens right now for Leica M-mount cameras.  All I can say is WOW!  I just uploaded a few pics today and I’m extremely impressed.

I took this one of my beautiful daughter and thought I would pay homage to my favorite trilogy.

GMC

Re-post October 2011

Shooting at an aperture of 1.4 allows for a very shallow depth of field.  It can give your pictures a very unique look.  It will also allow you to shoot in very low light.  Here is a recent picture taken of the grill of an old GMC truck.  The only part of the picture that is in focus is about 1/3 of the “G”.

On your way up

I finally got back home last night after 2.5 days of exams.  It was definitely an experience and really enjoyed visiting with colleagues that I haven’t seen in over 5 years.  Hopefully, I can now enjoy the remaining summer.

This is a picture I took in Des Moines a few weeks ago.  I was only there for less than 24 hours.  Unfortunately, I didn’t have much time to take pictures but did come across this stair case that I found interesting.
