Chicago Photography: Tile Store
I recently visited a specialty tile store here in Chicago. They had some really cool installations and amazing patterns and colors. I wish I had taken more, but I don’t think all the sales people appreciated a loud “CLICK” while trying to outfit a multimillion dollar bathroom…
Most of these were taken at 100 ISO, 18mm, and f/3.5-4.5. There was a lot of natural light coming through into the show room, but there were a bunch of lamps wit all sorts of different color light coming in, so on the camera I used auto white balance. Once I got them into Lightroom I realized how off some of the colors were, so I adjusted as needed (particularly the one with the stool). I also realized that no matter how still you stand and line up, straight lines on a wall are hard to keep straight.
Thanks for looking! Leave comments below! RB
Summertime Flower
ISO 400, 18mm, f/7.1, 1/1000 UV filter
I had the day off and decided for lunch to visit my favorite super-freaky-fast sub place around the corner from our apartment. On the way this little flower caught my eye. The flower was on a concrete wall and had great contrast in color. I took a bunch of pictures of this guy and I like this one because of the dead vines on the wall with the growing and flowering plant. What do you think? Click on the photo to see it with a small black frame, which I think helps (hard to see on the post background).
