Another snow day here is St. Louis area.
I had to go visit a friend on this snow day and as I was leaving his house, noticed the snow fall through his glass door and did notice the framing and wreath on his door as seen from his entryway.
I knew I will have to do a b/w PP when I shot this.
I hope it’s warm where you are. I think I am getting tired of this gray day and wintry weather.
Another snow day here in St. Louis area.
We had over 8″ of snow in our neighborhood and surprisingly it was sunny late in the afternoon with a blue sky.
I had few minutes to enjoy the snow with my son this evening and had the snow on pine tree shot with the blue sky as the backdrop.
It was quite an interesting evening. My original plan was to go to a park near home for a quick shot, but found out the park being closed this evening.
So went to a bakery nearby for a coffee. Here is where things got interesting.
I found a gentleman in the store with a Nikon D3000 as I was enjoying my coffee. As I came out and started taking pictures of the bakery, I saw him come out and wanting to know what I was doing there. I ended up talking to him briefly and we were talking about camera models. Then I told him about the sensor dust issue on my D70. Turns out there is reputed store in town that does a good job with sensor cleaning.
Will have to try taking my camera to this store sometime next week. That being said, I am going to hang on to my D70. Had this happened prior to recession, I would have had a totally different opinion or take on this 😉
Regarding this shot, I like the way this turned out. My thought was to capture the mood in the bakery as seen through the windows and I think I did OK.
Not a pretty picture for today’s photo post.
Finally decided to checkout how bad the dust have accumulated on my trusty 6+ year Nikon D70 sensor. I’ve already blogged about dust on my sensor in one of my earlier post.
But I was really surprised to see how bad the sensor is marred.
Already tried blowing off dust using a rocket-air blower with limited or no success. Next is to try sensorswipe.
Perhaps it’s time to replace my D70 😉
Wish me luck!
Another shot from my last week trip to Chicago..
I was really drawn by these awnings (which looks almost endless) and reflection on the glasses outside Congress Plaza Hotel on Michigan Ave.
Shedd Aquarium on a wintry morning.
One of my favorite shots from my trip to Chicago. Shot these pattern on garage doors while we stayed at my friend’s house in Chicago.
This is the pattern on the garage doors as seen from inside the garage. Also you are seeing a bit of pattern reflected on the glasses.
Another take on street photography while I was up in Chicago last week.
Shot of folks checking out the menu posted outside Miller’s Pub on Wabash Ave in downtown Chicago.
Shot these sculptures behind a high-rise condo on Wabash Ave – these were shot last week during my visit to Chicago.
I wish I knew more about these interesting trio fox sculptures.
Another shot from my walk along Michigan Ave in Chicago – shot this last week as well.
It was just about 2:00 PM and this hill was flocked with sledding enthusiasts of all ages despite the weather in the teens.
I was drawn by the silhouette of the statue against the high-rise condos (which were few blocks away from this hill) and the snow covered hill with footsteps.
