3 Panoramas

I’ve been experimenting with making panorama & larger composite images lately. I really like the look that I’ve been getting with taking multiple photos and stitching them together for larger files. The larger multiple photo composite images just seem to have a greater depth and detail to them (similar to what you could achieve with medium or large format film photography) than a standard single 35mm format size photo of the same scene. I will definitely be experimenting more with this in the near future.

And Now For Something Completely Different…

I’ve become a bit burnt out on nature & wildlife photography lately, so I decided to point my lens at some different subjects. One of my passions has always been classic & antique cars. To me, they aren’t just a means of transportation, but forms of rolling art.

Wild Turkeys At Cantigny Park

There is a group of wild turkeys that have been hanging out at Cantigny Park in Wheaton, IL for a while now. The turkeys liked to stick to the more shaded areas of the park, which made getting pictures of them difficult. I ended up following the turkeys all over the place trying to get them in the best light to show off the colors & patterns of their feathers.

2012 Supermoon

I have bit of a backlog of photos waiting to get edited & it took me a while to get these moon pictures posted. Anyway, on the night of the 2012 Supermoon in May I went out to a local forest preserve with a good view hoping that I would be in a good spot for moonrise. Unfortunately for me, the clouds rolled in and it was completely overcast for moonrise of the supermoon. Much, much later that evening the clouds finally cleared out and I was able to get some photos of the supermoon from my house.

Enjoy!

Thunderstorm Sunset

The clouds opened briefly & let in some amazing light at sunset during a thunderstorm. This storm was pretty nasty & I wasn’t planning on taking any photos of it, but when the clouds parted & let in some golden light I ran out to my backyard & took some photos until the light died away. I just wish I would have been at a better location to get a landscape shot.
