Setting Course

Brooklyn Bridge, NY

Catching a spectacular sunrise is definitely worth waking up extra early.

Standing Ground

Taken during last month’s photo walk in Milwaukee, WI.  One of the things that I always seem to forget is to use the bathroom (or drink less liquids) before going on an extensive photo shoot.  That often limits how long I can stay outside :)

Crossing The Chicago River 

Long exposure shot taken from the Montgomery Building Complex.  There were actually a lot of boats ferrying tourists, along with people paddling up and down the river on that bright & sunny day.

Lifeblood Of A City

Well, not technically true, since the Chicago River is not the source of drinking water for the city (Lake Michigan is).  In fact, last I heard, the river is too polluted and infested with bacteria to swim in it.  To prevent all that pollution from entering Lake Michigan, the flow of the river was actually reversed more than a century ago.

Coming back to this photograph, I have taken similar ones in the past, but focusing more on the skyline.  This time around I wanted to focus more on the water. Lately I have been enamored with how smooth and silky water looks in long exposures.

Crossing The Bridge

We were blessed with some gorgeous spring weather last week, where temperatures went up into the 70s and 80s.  Over the weekend, we took our son to Naperville downtown.  The sun was shining, and as we walked through one of the wooden bridges there, I figured that a wide angle shot might look interesting.  Key though was to make sure no one was in my frame, so I patiently waited for the right moment.
