hah!... now that's funny!

i took this at the forest preserve on sunday, which was a beautiful, warm day—as has every day been since. {except the first half of this day which was overcast and chilly—but the sun eventually came out.} i just had to laugh when i saw this sign and there was no ice or snow to be found. there may be yet before it's all over with, but i don't think there will be much. hopefully the warm-up is a trend that will last through mid-spring. you just never know with chicago weather.

while walking around the preserve, i had two cameras with me—my old faithful and a new one that i am sort of test driving. i decided to take some shots twice—one with each camera—and compare the difference between the two cameras. well, i must have hit some funny setting when i used the new camera, because all the shots on it turned out very washed out. but i actually like the effect and thought they turned out really cool! the shot below is the same as above, but on the second camera. i almost like it better.


here are some more with the weird setting from the second camera. i loved how these turned out, too. especially the second and the third from the last.

these are wonderful...and no time spent on the computer editing...just an extra camera on a wonky setting...I'll have to try that sometime !!!

:) what kind of camera was it? it looks like the shutter was hanging a bit. still fun shots.

and maybe that sign is a message for me today about thin ice of some sort because it spoke to me.

I really like the picnic table orgy photo.

What a great accident. I like the effect of that accidental setting. :)
