DPC: Bokeh 5


Typo

Sonya gave me the title for this shot (my first take was "one letter off"). The color is a little flat; the ambient light was filtered through heavy clouds, and I was trying to get the snow exposed correctly.

Gnome Trains!

Well, not really Gnome trains, but both trains and gnomes were on display at the Morton Arboretum. We took Jason primarily to see their train setup, but we had more fun trying to find all of the hidden gnomes around the park. Our recent warm weather melted most of the snow, making this kind of scavenger hunt more enjoyable.

DPC: Free Study (November)


Patriarch

My grandpa, on Thanksgiving. This shot didn't score well in the "Free Study" challenge, but I thought I got the effect I was aiming for. Click on the image to see my notes on how I set up the lighting for this one.

Santa's Gmail screenshot

Fun stuff, seen over at DPC.

Speaking of DPC, I have an entry in the November Free Study which isn't doing great, but it's a picture I like. I'll post it once voting has finished on the 8th.
