Images: 2014 Pictures of the year, DuPage County
Here are some of the best photos taken by the photographers in the DuPage County office of The Daily Herald.
I recently photographed storm clouds moving into downtown Naperville near Rotary Hill and the Millennium Carillon. The storm clouds made for a dramatic photo with the carillon in the foreground, but for a different perspective on the scene, I took another photo with my iPhone in the panoramic mode. I thought this also made an interesting and dramatic photo.

Raindrops cling to a leaf during a recent rainy day in May. It's interesting to move closer for some subjects. You don't need an expensive camera or expensive macro lens to do it, either. I used my iPhone with a macro attachment called Olloclip, that has three settings on it for wide, fisheye and macro.
