I took a nice long walk around downtown today. All I had with me was my E-PL1 and 9-18mm lens. It was a little bit limiting, but not in a bad way. It is such a light kit compared to my usual array of lenses! I came across some very odd things during my travels today!

I got another new camera. This one is a Micro Four Thirds camera. It is the size of a point and shoot, with the same insides as my big camera. Both cameras can share the same lenses. The new one shoots high def video, too!
I’ve only taken a few shots so far, but I’m impressed:
More to come soon…

Today, I finally got around to uploading some interesting shots from the month of December:
I also took a walk around Arrowhead Lake. The ground was frozen and covered with a lot of snow. I took all of these pictures with my new ultra wide lens. It’s great to hike with because it weighs next to nothing. I didn’t really edit any of these pictures. The great blue sky came right out of the camera!

Today, we went to the Morton Arboretum to catch some fall color. We were not disappointed. It is a huge place. We walked around 7-8 miles. Here are the best shots:

The recording studio has been redone with new furniture. It looks great and has an improved workflow. The room is not done yet. I still need to tame some early reflections, and carpet the back half of the room. I’m also going to do something to hide the wiring from view. Overall, I’m extremely pleased with how it looks and sounds.

Nick and I hiked around Lake Katherine. It was a very hot day, but we got some great pictures.
On the way home, we stopped at Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery. It is considered one of the most haunted places in the country. I’ve never seen any evidence of haunting… It just seems like a very sad place.

Rochester has a really great children’s museum. The highlight of our visit was the time I spent in their butterfly room. They also had a great exhibit of the history of arcade games. They had a huge collection of vintage machines. I was too busy playing to take pictures.

Today, Nick and I went to the Lincoln Park Zoo, and the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum. The nature museum has a really cool butterfly sanctuary. It is a great place to take pictures! The zoo was fun, but most of the animals were still indoors, so it was a challenging shoot. Most of the indoor zoo shots were taken at ISO800! I’m quite pleased with how they turned out. Nick’s pictures are here.

We finally had some nice weather! Too bad it didn’t last. The first 2 pictures were taken on my lunch break, near the Sears Tower. The rest of the pictures were taken in or around Navy Pier. I took the afternoon off to see The Watchmen on IMAX. After the movie, my friend Nick and I enjoyed the afternoon. His pictures can be found HERE when he finally gets around to posting them.
