Jason, Lena, and I took a class with two Chicago Tribune photographers. It was a good walking tour of downtown near our office, but more valuable was the quick photo review the photographers did after the walk. Having professionals look and comment was very cool and having a large group of people taking shots in the exact same area was great as you could see how different people approached where we were and caught things I hadn’t thought of.

My second attempt at a wrigley panorama. I tweaked hugin a bit and I think this came out great. This is the result of stitching 16 photos together.
Photo(s) 364: The home studio
Sarah got me a swanky background kit, and this was my first attempt at using it along with the new 580EXii flash. I also have white and chroma key green backdrops. I’m pretty happy with how this came out.
2 more solo shots of the kids:
Photo 363: Geekmas tree
It took more shots then it should to get the LEDs glowing
Photo 362: Stairway
I’m stuck at work the final week of the year, and now so are you
Photo 361: Science Penguin
I was tired after Christmas and I thought this would be better than it is
Photo 357: The house on Christmas Eve Eve
I really wanted to try to get a picture with snow, but that looks like it wasn’t in the cards. Also, the tree is blocking the HUGE stocking on the door.
Photo 355: Angels we have heard on high
I would have liked to get more light caught up in the head. Not sure how I would have got that done here.
Photo 349: The US Capitol (yet again)
Took another shot of the capitol now that I can do better night shots. I did a longer exposure to get building detail besides the highly illuminated dome. I had the camera on top of “tourist” binocular, I’ll need to bring a tripod next time.
Photo 330: Shockley Family 2011
There’s a few people missing who couldn’t make it, but this is pretty representitive of the tribe. (I lined up the shot then used an IR trigger to shoot it.)
Bonus, check out our microcosm of this group:
