Older pictures

I've been in a process of going through some of my older pictures, before I started posting them online. This was from a roll taken during college, somewhere in 2000 in the fields surrounding Champaign, IL

Lakefront Ice, HDR

I've been trying a bunch of new things lately, and in that process I've been spending a bunch of time researching new photoshop techniques. Always more to learn, there is. Toss in a few of my own methods, and I'm really liking what i've been coming up with. This was a 60° day a few weeks back, and all of the ice was breaking up. It was a great day to get out for a ride. It should be back up to the 60's next week, and I want to ride and get a lot more photos. Below: 3 RAW photos, merged, pretty heavily edited. I think I have enough other shots to stitch together a panoramic from this same spot.

Studio Shots

Cold factory.

Along the Chicago River last Wednesday, 2-shot composite

I like mixed light sources - the orange-ish sodium-vapor contrasted with whatever the white is from the factory lights.

Inbound Kennedy

This is the inbound Kennedy, from the Cumberland overpass near O'hare. I used to do that commute every day for about a year, from Itasca to Wrigleyville. Ugh, do I not miss that...
