New Gallery- Replica Columbus Ships

Posted by jlopatin on 3rd July 2010

Today, we went to the Hammond Marina to see the Columbus Foundation‘s replicas of the Nina and the Pinta. The Nina is an exact replica, and the Pinta is 50% larger and has some modern amenities.

They were much smaller than I expected, and I certainly can’t imagine sailing them across the ocean! The public was limited to the above decks, unfortunately, but the crew was knowledgeable and happily answered questions. These replicas sail all over the western hemisphere as “floating museums”.

Gallery- Whiting Oilers Baseball

Each year, the Whiting Oilers get to play a game at the Gary Steelyard…

This was a challenging shoot. It was a night game, and it was raining off and on.

Friday night, I went to see my nephew, Andy play baseball. The game was held in the Gary Steelyard, where the Gary minor league team plays. It was another challenging night time shoot, but i took some time to experiment, and came up with some cool shots.

Whiting Panorama

I finally got to take more pictures today. I was able to take the pictures I wanted for my current theme, as well as a ton of others. I took over 100 pictures today. Some of the best are posted in the photo gallery.

The above image is a panorama stitched together from 7 individual images. The really neat thing is that I was handholding the camera. I used a program called Autostitch to put them together. I think it did a great job.

Most of these pictures were taken on the beaches of Whiting, Indiana. Special thanks to George Timko for helping me to find the best picture spots.

The lat page of pics were taken while waiting for my parents to arrive for Mother’s day dinner at Millers Bakery and Cafe.

Happy mother’s day, mom!
