52 Week Project: Week 30
52 Week Project: Week 29
This was taken during an overnight stop by Hurley, WI (same night as this one). I was messing around with a circular polarizer to enhance the sky a bit and had a few shots that turned out okay however with this version, I opted to use LR2 instead to get the same effect. Now I just need to get rid of the power lines.
Exposure: 1/160 sec, Aperture: f/7.1, Focal Length: 135mm, ISO 100
52 Week Project: Week 23
While cruising through North Dakota for work a couple of weeks ago, I found this abandoned gas station between Devils Lake and Jamestown (IIRC, it was in Sheyenne). It would be interesting to go back and see if I can find out some of the history of this little building and the stories it could share. I used the Aged Preset in Lightroom rather than just go with black and white.
Exposure: 1/2000 sec, Aperture: f/4.0, Focal Length: 38mm, ISO 200
52 Week Project: Week 14
I was in Le Center, MN for work last month and spent time in their downtown area. What struck me was the architecture of the buildings and the fact they were built to last. This is the First National Bank building which was built in as you can guess, 1903. There is nothing technically brilliant about this shot but it was one that made me pause and think about all the great stories this building could tell.
Exposure: 1/400 sec, Aperture: f/5.6, Focal Length: 300mm, ISO 100
52 Week Project: Week 9
While traveling through Aitkin, MN last summer, I spotted this new church that was just built (Saint James Catholic Church). I stopped by and shot a few frames. Most of the images were pretty forgettable but this one drew my eye with the road leading to the church.

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

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.

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)
