New Lens | Around the Apartment

I bought a new lens this weekend – a Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8 (don’t worry, I didn’t pay the MSRP) – and wanted to try it out around the apartment.  The lens is super awesome.  Hope you like the pictures. I’ll be following up this blog post with a new “before/after” feature that will show some of the edits on these pictures.  Can’t wait to debut the new feature (once I get the kinks worked out)!

Mahomet, IL Wedding | Joe & Melissa

What a fun couple and a perfect day for a wedding in Central Illinois! I’ve known Melissa for quite a while, and she was actually my wife’s roommate for a year in college. Joe and Melissa are great for each other, and it was such a joy getting to spend the day taking pictures of their beautiful wedding. There was everything you could ask for in a Central Illinois wedding – a tractor, a barn, and an evening thunderstorm once everyone was safely at the reception. Congrats Hunsingers! Hope you enjoy the pictures!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Capitol Sunset

I know that it’s been too long since I’ve posted on the blog when I need to update 6 of my plugins and WordPress itself when I sign back in.  Sorry about that folks.  Anyways, I posted one picture from this set on my Facebook fan page (if you’re not a fan yet, you can click “Like” at that link) and on Twitter earlier this month, but there were several others that I thought I should share.

A little background behind this set of images: my wife was out of town, I was bored, so I decided to go take pictures of the Capitol in the sunset from the roof of a parking garage near I-35 in Austin.  Obviously, I wasn’t allowed on top of said parking garage, since it’s part of a medical complex near campus, but it took about an hour before the inevitable security guard came trotting out to give me the boot.  In the meantime, I took these pictures!  Hope you enjoy this unique view of the Capitol – I haven’t seen many other photos from this angle.  And yes, I had to end it with the classic “burnt orange” sky.
