C is for Chicago

Are you ready for another round of Alphabe Thursday? Let's go!

Sometimes I think of brand new Alphabe topics that I can't wait to explore. Other times I can't wait to revisit favorite Alphabe topics. This is one of those times when I'm revisiting. These photos are from the mostly working trip to Chicago that Jake and I took back in late October / early November. Enjoy.

 

Check out what the other Alphabe participants posted for the letter C this week right here!

photo share: Milwaukee at night

Night photography is still largely unexplored territory for me, but I enjoy venturing into it when I have the chance. Of course I love Milwaukee at night and photograph it as often as possible.

Share your tips and tricks for night photography!

the art museum at night

I posted pictures of the Milwaukee Art Museum recently, but I was back there again at the end of last month. At night. Taking more pictures. I have featured pictures of the museum during MAM After Dark events before, but this was the first time I got to take pictures of the museum at night with my SLR. While I was looking through my old posts with museum pictures, I found this little post that I wrote about Milwaukee right after Match Day. Just thought I'd share that before I got to the pictures. Enjoy.

I didn't notice the NCAA in the Northwestern Mutual building until I was editing this set of pictures. Marquette University's (which is right down the street from the art museum) men's basketball team made it to the tournament this year.

The original photo has a very cool green and red color theme, but I decided to experiment with a monochromatic palette.

 

 Have you been taking pictures at night lately? Is anyone else slightly irritated to be taking pictures with snow still in them in late March / early April?
