iPad Day 2
There were no more lines at the Apple store but the inside was packed with people checking out the iPad some of whom were posing with their boxes. I wasn’t able to take pictures of them, but I think this photographer with a high end DSLR camera suffices. I got mine delivered, it arrived on [...]
Blast from the past: just a bunch of photographers who met again two years later
Recently, I had the pleasure of shooting American Bald Eagles in LeClaire, Iowa organized by members of the Chicago Flickr Meet Up Club. You’ve seen some of my shots of the shoot here: Photographing in the cold and Mississippi River I didn’t realize though that I have actually met some of the members of the [...]
In response to Monday’s post
Monday’s post: The two guys are indeed posing … for another photographer. The lone photographer is shooting structures on the river. Heh heh.
Photographing in the cold
I would too, if my subject is something as magnificent as this: The American Bald Eagle, the national bird and symbol of the United States of America
Mississippi River
Tons of photographers jostling for a good position to photograph bald eagles on the Mississippi River. Three American Bald Eagles on a tree (1 adult, 2 juveniles)
Hiding
Protect your jewels from the vagaries of weather, by all means possible. Seen at the Taste of Chicago yesterday.
My first tulips of the season …
The first tulips photograph for the season … with a nice bonus at the background. Finally, spring has arrived in Chicago.
Saturday
Saturday, originally uploaded by PinoyChicago. This comes from PinoyChicago who is the organizer of the Pinoy sa Chicago (Filipinos in Chicago) flickr group. He was taking a picture from his window of the Jose Rizal Monument in Lincoln Park on Lake Shore Drive near Montrose in Chicago. Rizal is the national hero of the Philippines. [...]
Hold it steady
You get cramps holding a big lens like that. I used to bring my big lenses with me all the time too (as if carrying equipment with me would make my photos great) … but they’re just damn too heavy and I get cramps. So now, I just carry one or two lenses with me [...]
Nasty
I am not about to venture out there and hunt for photographers photographing. Here’s how it looked out there on the lake this morning: It’s even worse just now, with wind and snow billowing … here is an unretouched photo I took a few minutes ago: And to think it was so beautiful out there [...]
Ten Thousand Cranes
Photographers braving the cold at the Jasper-Pulaski Wildlife Area in Medaryville, Indiana taking photographs of the thousands and thousands of Greater Sandhill Cranes that gather on a field during their fall migration to warmer climes. On Nov. 18, the count was 14,158 cranes. Thousands of sandhill cranes flying just before sunset into a field (called [...]
Waited
… for him to shoot the wonderful glass architecture that he was looking at for a long time but he never did.
Made it to Explore 080808
At the Rubber Ducky Derby yesterday. They dumped about 30,000 rubber duckies on the Chicago River for a race. Each duck was adopted by an individual or corporation … and the one that finishes first downstream at a certain mark wins something for the adopter. This annual Chicago race is for the benefit of Special [...]
My Kind of Town
Approaching downtown Chicago from the south branch of the Chicago River. Summer is phenomenal in Chicago. We have water taxis plying the Chicago River that bring you to different neighborhoods. Riding one of these taxis is a pleasant way to spend a week-end afternoon. For example, you can hop on one of these crafts from [...]
Chicago Dragon Boat Race for Literacy
Held at Chinatown last week-end. For more pictures, please go to my Chicago Photography Examiner page.
Median Photography
I saw this guy earlier today in the middle of busy Michigan Ave. in Chicago. I just had to shoot him. And revive this blog which I was planning to retire because I am just repeating myself. But maybe not. So, maybe I will fill the days that I haven’t had any post with what [...]
Mr. Nikon Guy
Lots of Nikonians at the Chicago Botanic Garden two weeks ago, including this one. He was taking pictures of these (obviously):
Mall Photography
Two days before going back to the US, I met up with my myislandsphilipines.net group at Trinoma Mall in Quezon City. Huge mall owned by the Ayalas, I think. I have never been there until this time. But I really didn’t feel like taking photographs, so I didn’t have much but these: Skylight. Rey, my [...]
New Equipment
Recently, a friend came up from downstate Illinois to test his new equipment at Chicago’s Millennium Park. I guess it worked because now, he is planning to have an exhibit downstate.
