If you didn’t see my video discussing my typical settings for my Olympus OM-D yesterday, you can find it here.
Here is another picture taken at Millennium Park. I personally think the art and memorials at the park are well put together. Here is another one.
ISO 200 f4 7mm (Olympus OM-D, Panasonic G Vario 7-14mm f4, HDR, Photomatix, Photoshop CS 6, Aperture)
I’ve posted a video displaying my micro 4/3 lenses and my routine setup for my Olympus OM-D. You can view it here.
Recently, a lot of storms have crossed our area. One evening I drove out to an old cemetery (I’ve posted a prior picture here) and shot some long exposures with my Nikon D800E. This is a 6 second shot. I really like the clouds.

I love looking at her eyes!

This past weekend we went back home for a birthday party. One evening, I was out searching for photo opportunities and as we were heading back home we came across a cemetery. It was almost “pitch black” by then and thought I would try to catch a few hand-held shots with my Leica M9 and 50mm noctilux. Even though this picture is dark, I really like the silhouette and the mood that it sets.

We were walking down Michigan Avenue and I decided to walk behind to catch a few candid pics of my baby girl. I think she was a little sleep deprived and was acting a little crazy. She kept waiving at me but everyone around me didn’t realize I was her father, thus they thought she was waiving at them.
ISO 160 1/90’s f1.4 35mm summilux (Leica M9, leica 35mm summilux, Apple Aperture, Photoshop CS6, Nik Software Color Efex Pro 4)
I love catching these moments.

You can see what happens after a long day of shopping.

Another great place to visit at Millennium Park is Crown Fountain. If you haven’t visited, it’s 2 large video sculptures that periodically spray water. In the summer time, it’s typically full of kids playing and cooling off.

If you are ever in Chicago and enjoy watching sunrises I highly suggest driving to Adler Planetarium. It is a great place to take cityscape shots. This one was taken just outside the planetarium entrance.

I’ve posted many landscape pics lately but have not forgotten about my beautiful baby girl (and wife). Here’s a shot I took while in the elevator heading back to our room after a long day of sightseeing.
