Trip to Chicago
Me, Ned, and Dean went to Chicago for the day to shoot. We walked around for 8 hours and my ankle is now paying for it. We walked 3 miles to Calumet, payed 8 bucks for a mediocre burger, hung out at the bean, and road the subway. It was a good day, im just mad the sun never made it out.
A shot i took first then Ned and Dean proceeded to steal the same shot. Im indecisive on the color balance of the photo, and/or whether it should be Black and White.

Bean shot with some off camera flash
Using the Bean as a reflector for my flash so i could light Dean from the side.
Ned suggested we eat at the Billy Goat Tavern. The burger was not worth 8 bucks.
Track Practice
I stopped by the high school today to shoot some track practice. Weather wasnt looking to good, and the pole vaulters were not gonna jump, but i persuaded the coach to let them so i could get some shots in. I magic armed my camera to a pole to get some over head shots of them planting.

last basketball game of the season
i shot the last regular season Illini basketball game tonight against Michigan State. It was a bummer we lost but our score was really close to them most of the time, hopefully in the tournament we come out on top. I set up Trevor’s camera remotely underneath the hoop. The shots came out extremely soft and i think its because i wasn’t shooting raw and the cameras noise reduction screwed them up. I also shot with a tilt/shift lens for a bit, it was sweet but takes some getting used to. Those images didnt come out exactly like i wanted. Im gonna miss getting free food at the games until next season starts.
