glad i didnt put away my cold weather gear yet...

 

Long story briefly, Jeff: I had two professional photographers recommend the compact Canon S95. One trip with it and I set aside my clunky, overpriced Nikon, still-good-and-working digital SLR as my backup for work and personal. One of the many choices on the Canon S95 that works well for what I do outside is a vivid color setting. It turns faces red and does not work well in high-contrast shots, but is one remarkable setting. I take most of my photos on the fly, so I do not need heavy or clunky nor have the time to adjust settings; this is the camera for (photo-technically-challenged) me.

Gene, I've been meaning to ask, what kind of setting are you using in your pics?  The colors in particular really seem to pop.

When the weather warms a bit, a weekend photo-ride would be a delight. Stay tuned.

Count me in for a photo safari, be interesting to see the different styles and images captures by different people on the same ride.

A shorter ride than has been but all wind in the face. "normal March weather"

People come and go from our lives.  CPD & CFD were on the LFP in the 11:00 A.M. hour today.  North of Oak St, on the map it would be South of Schiller St and North of Banks St.  The black body bag was lying on the eastern edge of the concrete pathway.  The Northeast wind was pushing green water up onto the shoreline.  CFD had a truck, an engine and an ambulance on the scene.  CPD, multiple units coming an going.  News crews were just arriving as I passed by...  







 

I have spent quite a bit of time on the lake, she is nothing to be taken lightly.

She never gets angry, she just shows you what she is capable of.

Like Mother Nature... You never ask for more than you have for respect she will not give you more than you can handle.

Like Mother Nature... You never ask for more than you have now out of respect she will not give you more than you can handle later.

If you're looking for a workout, head south on the LFP today.  Strong SSE winds, heavy gusts.  You'll have a blast on the way back I bet.

I rode to Chicago and State to count bike commuters for the DOT.  Cold.
