I have not posted a blog in a really long time...I guess I have been really busy and lost track of time. I have actually taken quite a few photos, but editing and posting them is a completely different story. Anyways, here are a couple photos I took while I was in Chicago for 4 days this past week.
The top photo is entitled "Waiting" and was my first attempt at blending images together. Since I could not time my camera perfectly I never actually captured the red-yellow-green lights together in one image. I ended up blending two photos together; one being the yellow and green lights captured in one image and the other being the yellow and red... along with the different lights passing by on the street.
The second photo is entitled "Chic-a-go" and is basically a shot of the Chicago Theater sign framed by the subway sign. I tried this photo on our first night there, and I accidentally cut the top off of the Chicago sign. I tried the next day in the daylight, but I didn't like it as much. I finally forced Todd out on the last day to the same spot to try again. I don't know why I LOVE photos which are framed by other objects in the same environment, but you'll notice a lot of that in my photos (maybe). This is one photo, but I cross-processed it in Photoshop to make it a little more contrasted and colourful.
The third photo is of a squirrel in a tree...not to state the obvious. I called it "Out of Hibernation". It's a simple photo; I just think it's cute. haha.
Cheers,
