Like I said earlier, the reflections of the skyline in the Cloud Gate are awesome to look at.

Modded Mercedes C-Class coupe

Augh, the lighting conditions for this display was just too irritating. Perhaps I'll try to take better pictures next time I go to the auto show.

The brownish-orange color is not a result of color-changing paint; it's airbrushed that way. Crazy!

Chicago Botanic Garden - Sony H9's first test run

This picture was taken at full 15x optical zoom. Since I don't have steady hands, I need image stabilization like VR on my Nikon 18-200 lens, or the Super SteadyShot on the H9. Of course, I guess at this long of a zoom, everybody needs help from image stabilization. :)

Either way, I'm really happy about how this silhouette turned out! :)

When we first saw the Cloud Gate, my friends and I immediately thought of Flight of the Navigator. :)

Acura HSC concept car: Oooh. So nice! This is supposedly the design for the next Acura NSX. Awesome...

Beefy tires! Apparently they were co-designed by Nike (not kidding).

Lady in ReposeChicago Botanic Garden - Sony H9's first test run

As we were leaving the Japanese garden area, I noticed this lady sitting by the waterfall across the lake. This picture is taken at full 15x optical zoom, handheld. I was holding the H9 at about hip level and tilted the LCD to frame the shot.

Since I am a rather shy photographer, using the 15x zoom for street photography would be helpful. :)

Cantigny Park - 4-15-07 : After being thwarted by all sorts of nasty weather around here, I finally got out of the house to take pictures at a nearby park. Still too early in the season for much to be in bloom, but I still got a few good shots.

Divebar @ Davenport's : Went to see Divebar at Davenport's Piano Bar in the city. Bob Wiseman and Kaiser Cartel were the first two bands to play. I hadn't really heard of either group before, but I liked their stuff! Like a n00b I didn't have cash to buy their CDs after the show. Sorry guys!

As you can tell, I was playing around with a bunch of different post-processing filters and stuff. Nothing totally revolutionary or anything! It was a fun departure from my normal color pics.
