ccpix > February 1, Went to photograph eagles yesterday but there was only one. Because of the recent warm weather they have already dispersed up and down the river. That is why I was able to catch yesterday's shot of one over the city. I was inspired by Donna's comments yesterday to pull out a shot I did several weeks ago and rework it. This is a composite done in PP but all that was necessary was to eliminate some of the distance between foreground flag and the eagle. The flag is in fact at the top of the cliff side viewing area.
ccpix > January 11, I love Holiday lights...and while these don't exactly say "Merry Christmas", they do say "let's celebrate something". I have always struggled for accurate color reproduction when trying to capture lighting displays but was pleased at the way this turned out. After the Monday I had today, I could also use a cold one!
ccpix > February 5th, This is Connor again. he is our youngest Golden. At 125lbs he is a big bundle of fun and energy. Fetching is his 2nd favorite past time second only to getting wet which I featured in last month's dailies.
ccpix > February 9th, Illinois is wall to wall corn for most of the year. While it makes for a boring drive it can also be very beautiful as it progresses through the growing season and changes from vivid green to amber. It took awhile but I finally found a field with an incline and the right lighting to communicate that endlessness. It also had no power lines . I tried to get DOF that would show it was corn and not wheat. I wish I had some clouds and/or more dramatic or unique sky but I'll keep trying.

ccpix > February 12th, Lincoln's Birthday...John McClarey, an internationally known Lincoln sculptor from Decatur, Illinois, was commissioned to create this exceptional bronze statue called Lincoln Draws the Line, to commemorate one of Lincoln's most powerful speeches on his opposition to the expansion of slavery, given on October 16, 1854 on the grounds of the Peoria courthouse. On October 14, 2001, this statue was placed near the actual location of the speech.
ccpix > February 4, Thank you all for the comments on my last several posts...to answer some of the questions on the rider yesterday, he did not even fall of and both the horse and rider were fine. Today's post is inside Haleakala Crater on the island of Maui. My daughter and I took an equestrian excursion down into the volcano crater. I have been there several times and never seen it this clear. Normally, the clouds surround the entire area as the crater is so high. You can see the clouds below the rim in the distance. Best viewed very large.
ccpix > January 20, Another image from the ice fog we had Sunday morning
ccpix > January 17, Shot Saturday evening as dark overtook the frozen Illinois River. This is a timed exposure. It was eerie taking this shot as the river groans, creeks and pops as the ice expands
February 1, Went to photograph eagles yesterday but there was only one. Because of the recent warm weather they have already dispersed up and down the river. That is why I was able to catch yesterday's shot of one over the city. I was inspired by Donna's comments yesterday to pull out a shot I did several weeks ago and rework it. This is a composite done in PP but all that was necessary was to eliminate some of the distance between foreground flag and the eagle. The flag is in fact at the top of the cliff side viewing area.
