Holiday ORD, Part 1

On 12 Dec ’10 by Bill W. With 1 Comments - Chicago, Christmas, Lightroom, Nikon, Photography

For those of you who don’t know, ORD is the airport abbreviation for O’Hare International Airport in Chicago.  I flew out of O’Hare in late November to end my Thanksgiving trip home.  Since I was flying home on the Sunday after Thanksgiving and the TSA is always a little frisky, I figured that security and long lines would be a huge hassle.  Well, it didn’t take me nearly as long to get to my gate as I thought it would, resulting in a lot of down time.  I had my camera with me… Camera? Down time? Christmas-decorated airport?  Please see below for part one of the results.  Part two will come later this week.

Over Texas

As seen from Camp Buckner. No light pollution.
All three of these were taken with my Nikon D300 at exposures between 20 and 30 seconds at f/4.

Paul & Anne Scharnett [8.7.10]

I posted a preview of these pictures back in September, but since it was my first wedding as the official photographer, I thought a full post of my favorite shots (Flickr set) was necessary.  As I said in my last post, it was a great blessing to be able to capture these memories for Paul and Anne.  I hope you all enjoy these pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them.  If you do, share this on Twitter or Facebook (there’s a “Share Bar” at the bottom of the post) and let more celebrate with the Scharnetts!  Congratulations, Paul and Anne Scharnett! (With regards to lenses, I used mainly a Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 (standard) and a Nikon 12-24mm f/4 (wide angle). I also rented a Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 (zoom) from Calumet Photo for the weekend and had a 35mm f/1.8 (prime). Those covered all the bases. Also, i shot with my Nikon D300 and my D50 bodies, in case you were wondering.)
