Caught a lot of bands at Appleton Octoberfest. This one seemed to be the most colorful! Pretty standard stuff - 70-200 f/2.8 lens set for minimum shutter speed of 1/250 and a f/5.6 aperture. See also my gallery at Behance.net

Street Portrait

Art in the Park in Appleton is always a sensory delight. So much wonderful artwork and so many creative people. This year one piece stood out for me - and it wasn't even "art" but rather a rummage sale display! What exactly is for sale I don't know, but I love the composition. You never know where you will find beauty in this world. Often it is the last place you expect. Canon 5d mkIV | Canon 50mm f/1.2 L | 1/60sec at f/2.5

Trout Museum at Night

A kind of boring building can become magical at night with the right lighting. Maybe its the same with people; if we see them in the proper light we find out who they really are... Maybe that thought is too deep for a Wednesday morning... Anyhow, this photo is kind of extraordinary in a way. Not too many years ago this photo would have been impossible. I took this handheld at 1/30s and ISO 4000. Big deal you might say. Well, only a few years ago ISO 4000 was impossible - no film (at least available to a normal person)…
