Cerro del Cimatario, Quer?taro, Mexico

I took this photo at Cerro del Cimatario in Quer?taro, Mexico, around midday while several colorful insects were resting under the sun. What I loved most was how calm and curious they seemed. One of them stayed still long enough to pose for several photographs, and as I kept observing, I noticed there were many others nearby doing the same thing. It felt like discovering a small hidden world quietly living among the plants in the middle of the day.

Diversey Harbor, Chicago, Il. 10Aug24

This photo was taken at 1327, 10Aug2024 at the Chicago Air & Water show from Diversey Harbor. I had taken several shots of the skyline during the day. Some pictures were processed in standard color, or black & white. This particular photo, I just started playing with the settings in Lightroom Classic. After a while , it was as it appears here. I've always been a fan of Stephen King, and this just gave off a vibe as to something that would look good on the cover of a Stephen King book set in Chicago. As for the photo specs, I shot this with a Canon R6mark2 with a Canon RF 100-500mm F4.5- 7.1 lens. Focal length was at 135mm, f 14, shutter speed 1/160, iso 100.

Holiday Bean, Millennium Park, Chicago

This was the first time I had taken my family to see the Bean for the holidays. It was December 19, 2019 and this particular night the bean was particularly clear and the reflections off of the building buildings made for a wonderful series of photos.
For editing, I did this in multiple formats, such as color that would enhance the city lights. However, the black and white came out with the best feeling.
Cloud gate is one of my most favorite subjects to take when I am in the city having done mornings and evenings, and this is one of my favorites.
