Don't try this @ Home...

Driving home from a visit to Galena, IL we happened across this ultralight aircraft over U.S. Route 20, near Elizabeth, IL. Not to be deterred with missing a photo op as I was driving, my lovely bride takes the wheel as we careen through the hills of Northwestern Illinois @ 70 miles an hour on a two lane road. I grab my camera - with my foot still on the accelerator and make a few images before entering a construction zone.

Just needs a bit of work.

Pet Illustrations as well

Test of ISO 6400 w/fill flash on D 700 & SB 900. Still a bit grainy in the background, usable w/some work.

Heading out to the Tribune Tower to shoot some advertising images for one of the Trib's clients. I need to mimic some video they're producing, so I either shoot available light w/the video HMI set up or bring strobes..., I'll likely do both. Adjust for the HMI white balance, most are pretty close to daylight these days, and shoot w/some strobes.

That new tall building...

Love those silhouettes
