Embryo

52Frames - Week 31 - Abstract

EC: ICM

After suffering from another severe case of GAS & coming home with yet another new camera, I was committed to use it on this challenge. I tried various combinations of focal length with the zoom lens, long exposures and multiple stop ND filters.  I chose this shot since it had the most defined subject within an abstract scene.

Not Me / Me

Libertyville, IL

Saw this hat in a storefront and then my reflection in the window while taking the photo.  I'm not the "hat guy" but am the photographer.

Fortuitous Rain

Of course during an organized photowalk in Chicago, the rain would intervene...which actually created some good photo ops.

North Shore Classics

Mundelein, IL

When I put the 15mm lens on, I'm always looking for interesting and extreme angles.  The classic cars offered up some excellent material.
