Photowalk at Grant Park

[low_delta]

It was a chilly day, but a cloudless sky made the colors pop.


I think I had to desaturate the sky a bit. It looked fake.








These guys came out to take pictures of each other, and were having fun showing off for the cameras.










There was a millstone on the ground near the top of the dam. It is estimated to be the oldest man-made object in South Milwaukee.


There was a wedding shoot going on. Obviously. There were also several families out doing portraits in the woods. The problem (aside from the fact that they were in the way of all of us wandering photographers), was that I didn't think the forest floor was all that pretty. See the first picture above - it's just brown leaves on the ground. All the golden leaves were above.

We did see a professional photographer near the parking lot. He got the family on green grass, surrounded by leaves, which he raked up. And his assistant held a big reflector, so the lighting was great.

I'm thinking he'll want to refix a lot of photos when he gets his new monitor. The color and sharpness is not his usual level.

I don't have the best eyes, but I noticed the difference.
