On my way home the other day I saw storming on the Wisconsin side so I grabbed my tripod and 40D and headed down to the Levy.

Fireworks in La Crosse began at 10 pm Friday during Riverfest. I was lucky to find a great spot to plop my tripod and watch the fireworks without having to stand for it.

I decided to head down to Steamboat days and see if I could find anything interesting. I made a few good images with superb light just before dusk. It’s interesting how candid carnies become when they notice a camera. They all keep asking, “why don’t you come and highlight me?”

I usually just shrug and continue on.

After the bridge closed on June 3 I decided to head out and see if there was anything worth checking out down by the river. I found the sky to be many interesting colors and came home with better sunset photos.

On Sunday I ventured to Wisconsin Dells, Wis. to see a car show with my dad and Kelly. I’m always impressed with the curves and shapes in classic cars. Though the designs are not intricate they are still amazing. It was cloudy out which made taking photos superb since I didn’t have to deal with any heavy shadows.

After the car show Kelly and I went to Robot World. Most of the pictures turned out to be nice snapshots for the day, but this one caught my eye more than the others.

After running around in the marsh Brady and I headed over to Lake Winona with his 300mm and a stock that you can mount the camera on. It basically makes your camera look like a gun, and with a 300mm lens most onlookers were concerned. No animals were harmed in the production of these pictures.

Brady and I hopped in his car and went in the marshland to see what we could find. It included birds of various kinds, a broken down trailer and superb lighting. He just purchased a 300mm f/2.8 and we put it to good use as you can see by the photo of the moon. I particularly like the shot of Brady framed in the window of the trailer.
