52 Week Project: Week 2
I’ve been to the Air Force Academy several times in my life and it remains one of my favorite buildings to view and visit. Out of all the pictures I’ve taken, this one of the entrance I took in August 2008 is still one of my favorites.
Exposure: 1/320 sec, Aperture: f/11.0, Focal Length: 28 mm, ISO 200

Building Corner Building
Here’s what the rest of the building (most of it anyway) looks like from yesterday’s post. I rested against one of the walls of the hotel I was staying at to prevent from swaying too much.
Exposure: 1/10 sec, Aperture: f/3.5, Focal Length: 28 mm, ISO 800

Building Corner
While in Omaha on business, my hotel was next to this building, which is part of a rehabbed area with new condos, offices and restaurants. The brick columns mixed with the large glass windows were too good to pass up.
Exposure: 1/30 sec, Aperture: f/3.5, Focal Length: 28 mm, ISO 800

Monona Center – Take Three
The last image of this one and this one using the AEB function. Of the three, this is probably my favorite.
Exposure: 0.6 sec, Aperture: f/5.6, Focal Length: 28 mm, ISO 200 (Exposure Bias: -1.0)

Monona Terrace – Take Two
Following up yesterday’s post, today’s is the AEB’s overexposed by one stop look. The lights certainly lose their shape.
Exposure: 2.5 sec, Aperture: f/5.6, Focal Length: 28 mm, ISO 200 (Exposure Bias: 1.0)

Monona Center – Take One
I rarely use the Automatic Exposure Bracketing featuring on my camera but found a chilly evening in March a good opportunity to try it out on the Monona Terrace. If you turn 180°, you would get this image. This image is the original with the upcoming ones having the exposure set one stop over and under exposed.
Exposure: 1.3 sec, Aperture: f/5.6, Focal Length: 28 mm, ISO 200

Wisconsin Capital at Night
A nighttime view of the captial building from the corner of Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. and E. Wilson Street in Mad Town.
Exposure: 1.300 sec, Aperture: f/5.6, Focal Length: 28 mm, ISO 200

Qwest Center Statue
This statue sits in front of the Qwest Center in Omaha, NE and has a little bit of everything; some figures, a clock, and some balls.
Exposure: 1/13 sec, Aperture: f/3.5, Focal Length: 28 mm, ISO 800

Desert Dome Closeup
A closeup of the glass Desert Dome from last week.
Exposure: 1/320 sec, Aperture: f/11, Focal Length: 95 mm, ISO 200

Foggy Basilica
Took a few pictures of the Basilica of Saint Mary in Minneapolis on a foggy afternoon. Certainly not one of my favorites as it gives me a feeling of “blahs”.
Exposure: 1/250 sec, Aperture: f/5.0, Focal Length: 65 mm, ISO 200
