The camera club made a very early trip to Wilson's Creek Battlefield to gather a few pictures for an upcoming project. I was surprised to see such a good turnout for a 5:15 meeting time! I hope everyone had as much fun as I did.
I'd been wanting to photograph this corn field for quite a while, and I spent quite a bit of time trying to get a good image. I think there might have been better ones out there this morning, but these will have to do.
The sun cooperated twice this morning - the first time (pre-dawn), the sun gave the sky a light magenta hue. Later on, a fiery orange graced the sky. Same cornfield, just further north.
This is the same location, but I kept on shooting further up into the sky. So far, in fact that I ran into the other horizon.
A final canon shot, and it was time for breakfast!
July 15 - Downtown Springfield
July 8 - Wilson's Creek Battlefield
A few folks from the camera club dropped by Wilson's Creek National Battlefield for a little scouting prior to a project we're working on. It was a muggy evening full of sweat and ticks. But here are a few pictures I took at a small cabin on Wire Road, and then at the Ray House.

Chicago!
I've spent the last few days in Chicago taking in the sights. I confess that for the most part I was attracted to flashy attractions like Cloud Gate and views from the city. Some day I hope to return and capture a bit more diversity.
Day 1

Holy Name Cathedral
View of the city from the John Hancock Center
Lake Michigan
Day 2
During the evening we took a sunset cruise on one of the Wendella tour boats. Fortunately, there was some nice light in the sky, and some nice boats in the water.

Day 3
