Fall 2010

So, it's been a while since I've posted anything new. That's because it's been a while since I've gotten time to take any photographs. School's been pretty busy, but last weekend I got a chance to walk around campus and take a few shots. In central Illinois, we've been really lucky to have had cloudless skies a majority of the time. Without further ado:

20mm, f/13.0 (-0.33 exposure bias), 1/60 sec., ISO 100

This is the Beckman Institute. Named after Arnold Beckman, an alum of the University who invented the pH meter and founded Beckman Instruments, the Beckman Institute is an inter-disciplinary research center that focuses on how the life sciences and engineering merge. Okay, that's enough tour guide stuff. In short, the Beckman Institute is really cool.


20mm, f/8.0 (-0.33 exposure bias), 1/60 sec., ISO 100

I found that no exposure bias was overexposing the sky, and the blue was getting washed out.


13 mm, f/5.0 (-0.33 exposure bias), 1/320 sec., ISO 100


10 mm, f/7.1 (exposure bias -0.33), 1/250 sec., ISO 100
