Boat or Die – Portraits on Milwaukee Water

Below are on-boat portraits I took while boating with my friend Party Boy and his family during a beautiful June day in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Zach has me more than a little scared here.

Hailey Shoots Me
My right hand was on my camera while Party Boy’s young niece took this photo. Obviously I had to then do something especially cool with my left arm.

That’s MIAD (Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design) in the background. MIAD definitely has some great locations in Milwaukee’s 3rd Ward, including this one.

Franklin, the lovable inflatable, makes a blurry green cameo.

Overall, a great day and night!

Milwaukee Spring Night Photos

I took some photos during a Milwaukee Spring evening out. Locations include La Perla (Mexican Restaurant), Lake Shore Park, and Downtown.

I just brought out a light/small/inexpensive lens, “the nifty fifty,” Canon’s EF 50mm f/1.8 lens on my Canon 5Dmk3. Photos were processed in Lightroom and about a third also had some work done in Photoshop as well. To see all 17 photos in the gallery click here.

Milwaukee Spring Night Photos AT LA PERLA FOR DINNER AND DRINKS:
Genius direction, “Um, look at the fire.” On La Perla’s patio.

🙂 Also on the patio.

Awww, I think they like each other. On the other side of the room, a guy was humping a girl on the motorized kid ride.

AT LAKE SHORE STATE PARK after dinner:
I had some sweet red-light timing on this.

Milwaukee Art Museum seen through the Lake Shore bridge. This is genius because they both have pokey things.

The girls consider jumping off the Lake Shore Bridge.

I also call this picture “Art Sauce,” but the lighting was at least done in camera. Makes me feel a little better.

A relaxing night.

Lake Shore… Marina? Whatever you call that protected water area.
Also, genius compositing by me.

These sissy ducks were totally scared of me and my evil camera.

If you could turn the camera to your left a little, you would see some mischevious kids.

This is where I park my imaginary boat.

DOWNTOWN at golden-hour before going to dinner:
The museum and the plant are competing to see who can spread their wings better. It’s a close call.

People love to hate this sculpture. But see how much fun it is?

Juneau Photos – Night Walk

Walkin’ around on a beautiful night in Milwaukee and took a few pictures of stuff near and in Juneau Park. Juneau Park overlooks Lake Michigan and Veteran’s Park from atop the hill going up to it.

Images shot on my Canon 5Dmkiii and processed in Lightroom (the first also minor touch-up in Photoshop).

JUNEAU PHOTOS:
I was going to conquer this tower, but that statue beat me to it.

Lights. Camera. Still image.

This ladder is yellow IRL.

These look safe.

Gomez Bobblehead Day Photos

Below are photos I took at Miller Park during Carlos Gomez Bobblehead Day (April 27, 2014 — his jersey is #27, see what they did there?).
Sat in section 328. Braun and Segura were on timeout for dugout shenanigans I believe. Brewers lost the game 4-0 to the Cubbies, but it was a great time.

So I knew I wanted to get a shot with the banner M lined up over the Miller Park M and the lightpole over the I (super genius, I know), but it was tough to sneak in for a shot without getting run over.

So I didn’t line the shot up as perfect as I wanted. And the guy in the lower right kept gawking at me like a crazy person.

But I feel like I won that battle when I put my sig over him.

Victory.

This is me cautiously leaning over the railing like a sissy.

This cup isn’t ironic at all.

Oh, so the Cubs think they can play small ball and beat us?
Well, apparently they can.

Bobblehead Gomez with some great defense.

Shot of the park from my seat. Over 45,000 in attendance for the Sunday day game.

Everyone loves the Klements races! And this time it was a relay!

Another super-genius idea I had: get Gomez Bobblehead in foreground while he’s at bat.
