University of Illinois Arboretum and Allerton Park

I haven't made a post recently, mostly due to the fact that I've been busy with work, lazy, and a bit under the weather.

A few weekends ago, I went back to Champaign and walked around the University's Arboretum for a few hours on Sunday. On the way to Champaign, I stopped at Allerton Park, a giant University-owned park in Monticello, Illinois.

I like how the dew droplets act as a magnifying glass. I could have used something to fill in the shadows, and the blurry foreground is a bit distracting, but I'm still pretty happy with this one.

This little guy sat around for a good 2 or 3 minutes while I happily clicked away

One day I'll have the patience to photograph water droplets.


The soft focus was entirely an accident caused by a very slight breeze bringing the seeds closer to the lens.

This was the setup I used to take the previous two photographs
