It’s been a few days since I’ve posted any pics. We traveled to Madison, Wisconsin to visit family and then made a one day stop in our favorite city, Chicago. I’m pretty sure I captured a few good pics.
Here is a pic from our travel to Madison’s Farmer’s Market. I’ve been to farmer’s markets before, but none of this size. It completely surrounded the state capitol. Here is a pic of one of the vegetable stands.

This picture, taken of Crown Fountain at Millennium Park in Chicago was taken around 5:30 am. My prior picture was taken just 2 hours later. Look at the clouds and you can see the amazing transformation from a cloudy, potentially gloomy day to one filled with sunshine.

She may only be 15 months old but she is making every attempt to act beyond her age.

I enjoy capturing others taking pictures. Here’s a group getting their picture taken. I like the young lady trying to get the right angle and the guy nearest me telling everyone to hold up.

Recently, we celebrated my nephew’s 4th birthday. As you can see from the pictures, he was just a little excited.

Quick post today. Here’s another picture of downtown Chicago through a frame. I purposing focused on the statue to get a good depth of field. The shot came out pretty good.

I’ve been asked a few times what I carry in my bag. Here is a video showing what I typically carry.
I’m not sure why I was fascinated by this lamp (I posted a prior pic here). Maybe I was just mesmerized by the color of the light and the contrast created between it and the background with my Leica 50mm noctilux.

Often times I process an image and then decide later that it was not up to par or wasn’t what I really hoped it to be. This image is a perfect example. My prior post, when you look into “the bean” the sky is blown out. I don’t know why I didn’t pay attention to this before but like anything else, I learned from my mistake.
P.S. I plan on having my “what’s in my bag” video up in the next few days.

Here’s another picture I took a few weeks ago right before a large storm.
P.S. I’m hoping to post another video this weekend showing what I routinely carry in my bag.
