Leftovers from Chicago
As I haven’t been shooting much recently and my last photo-post was a long time ago, I dug out some of the older street shots from one of the first days with my brand new camera.

The skating ring
Trying to figure out how to spend a free Friday, I went to check out the freshly set-up open air ice-skating ring at the Millennium park. Needless to say, my heavy artillery couldn’t be left behind. I have shot a lot of pictures, some of which will be presented later, under a more appropriate topic.

Good jazz and picture-taking…
…at the same time? What more could a guy wish for? (I will leave the few inappropriate suggestions to myself. :-P)
Few places in the world have better jazz clubs, than Chicago. Around a week ago, we’ve decided to give one of them a try. It wasn’t the first one and definitely not the last one, but it was the most enjoyable so far. The musicians were very skilled and played nice jazz with a distinct Hispanic flavour.

Portrait test run
It’s been ten days since the last time my dearest readers had a chance to bask in the fresh glow of my amazing posts, and as this weekend is mostly free, save compulsory events such as Nightwish concert, I have decided to spam around a little. ;-)
Precisely two weeks ago, with one of the people I know here, a Tibetan student of international law, we have decided to try and shoot a few outdoor portraits. My longer lens seems to be very nicely up to this job, although I am still a far cry from achieving perfection with it. On the lighter note, I learn something new every time I take it out for a shoot.

Photographing kids
Yesterday at the ZOO, I was also able to shoot a few children as well. Those little folks make for quite cute pictures, whether it’s their playing and action, observing something, or just generally doing whatever they do. Some of these shots are not very sharp, but I like them anyway. Unfortunately, with kids, all you get is snapshots. There is no time to set stuff up properly, and think much about the picture, so luck matters, too. Kids are at their best when they don’t know about the observer, and are occupied somehow.
