Images: The Week in Pictures
One morning while taking the kids to school I noticed the morning dew on the grass. I grabbed a macro lens and layed down in the wet grass to capture a dew drop. I like the spectral highlights on the drop and in the background. This photo was originally published in the Perspective column in the print edition of the Daily Herald.

I made this photo before the Waubonsie Valley at Bartlett football game on Friday, Sept. 19 in Streamwood.The sunset was amazing that evening and I just wanted to get something in front of my 14mm lens. Sometimes a lens that wide picks up stray light coming into the frame. In this instance the stadium lights and the resulting lens flare towards the middle of the frame makes it look as if Bartlett's Justin Sowinski is actually preparing to catch the light. Well at least it looks that way to me. What do you think? This photo was originally published in the Perspective column in the print edition of the Daily Herald.

Rain drops cling to autumn leaves at Leroy Oakes Forest Preserve in St. Charles Township Tuesday after storms roll through the Fox Valley area. According to the website scienceamadesimple.com leaves change color as the green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves. Sunlight and the colder temperatures in the fall cause the leaves to turn the trapped glucose into deep red colors.
