University of Illinois Quad

titanvis_UofI_12img

A 360° stitch of the University of Illinois quad, as a little planet.

A much larger one is here. We stopped in Champaign on the way back from a recent trip to St. Louis, as I haven't been there in quite a few years. Driving through town Its odd to see what's changed and what hasn't.

Playing with Matches

Playing with matches, and my 7D. With a macro lens and a LOT of light, these are extremely detailed - the second photo is a 100% crop of the first, my intention is to make large-scale prints on canvas with these.

A Van Wrap designed for Paslode Tools. Photo provided by skinzwraps.com in Dallas. This van should be driving around Home Depot locations in the DFW area very soon.

Lakefront Birdhouses

Birdhouses on the Chicago lakefront - taken with a point and shoot wallet-sized Olympus. It may not be nearly as high quality as my full cameras, but due to the small lens size it has a huge depth-of-field. I like how the three clouds mimic them.

Southwest Michigan Critters

While we were having breakfast outside of the White Rabbit Inn in Lakeside Michigan, this little guy was joining us.

Found this praying mantis outside of an antiques store in Union Pier Michigan. Luckily I had my macro lens nearby in the car.

Burnt Church

Shot in an abandoned, burnt church in Gary, IN. All shot at the exact same spot to keep the dress clean.

7-photo stitch

A 7-photo stitch of the chicago skyline, color edited and saturated. I've been meaning to shoot some large-scale panoramics like this, with the intent of having prints made on canvas and stretchers. A few more and I'll attempt a print run. I'm really looking forward to having a 3ft x 8ft version of something like this - There's so much detail, it mostly gets lost when I try to show it online.

Photo links to a 1500px-version on flickr.

Empty Subway

The subway in chicago, between stops. I'm fairly sure this is just south of lake. 4 photos stitched together using autopano pro, almost a full 180° straight up to straight down. This would be an impossibly wide angle.

Bahá'í House of Worship

Bahá'í House of Worship, Wilmette, IL

I've seen pictures of this building for years, but never had a chance to go and see it. We happened to be driving south along the lake, and stopped by a few days ago.

The grounds and building are beautiful, its well worth a visit.

3 exposures combined.
