This week I am traveling for work again, but I am going to keep the picture thread going. However there will be delays at times in terms of posting and providing all the documentation. Today’s picture was snapped in O’hare and it is a unique view of a dinosaur skeleton
Just q quick shot while I am packing.
After taking a Gretzky Shot on the 11th of the data rack, I wanted to clean it up a little. Not change it dramatically but compensate for what I was able to accomplish in camera and in the room. I did not want to change it dramatically. I tweaked the horizon, the crop, the exposure, [more]
I was not sure what to take a picture of today, and that is part of the challenge. Not just take a snapshot, but a picture doing something with purpose and intent. I thought I don’t have a recent self portrait. I thought about it and decided I did not want the typical self portrait [more]
