The Sun rises through ominous clouds in Naperville Wednesday. I just loved the contrast between the clouds and sky. It really made this image work for me. I shot it with a 20mm lens at f5.6 with a touch of fill light to bring out the weeds in the foreground. This photo was published in the Perspective column in the print edition of the Daily Herald.

While photographing the annual West Chicago Mexican Independence Day parade I used a camera trick to create these colorful orbs. The orbs were created by photographing the bright lights of fire department vehicles participating in the parade while the lens was out of focus on the vehicles and lights. The orbs are actually an aberration of the lenses aperture and if you look closely the "orbs" are octagonal. This photo was published in the Perspective column in the print edition of the Daily Herald.
