UChicago Fall 2012 Part II

A few more photos of campus left over from fall quarter. I'm going to release a wallpaper pack with some of these photos soon, so keep an eye out.

Unusually large waves caused by Hurricane Sandy crashed against the sea wall (or rather lake wall) at Promontory Point, Chicago.

A silhouetted figured (who I believe is UChicago's Dean Boyer) walked through Harper Quad in the rain.

UChicago Fall 2012

Fall on the UChicago campus is gorgeous - it's hard to resist stopping between classes to capture images of the colorful leaves surrounding the gothic (and not-so-gothic) architecture. Unfortunately,  the leaves all pretty much gone now, so campus will be cold and bland until we get our first snow (when it will be really cold and really bland, but that pretty wintery sort of bland.)

Three Seasons

This is a fun little photo manipulation I did earlier this month of Kent, one of the buildings on campus. I had a photo I took last year during the snowpacalypse, and another that I took from the same spot during the fall, so I figured I would just run out to the quads during sunset and get a third photo from the same spot and blend them all together. Blending them was a little tricky because I didn't do a very good job of lining the photos up perfectly, so I couldn't just split the photo into vertical thirds for each season. In any case after a little tinkering this is what I came up with and I'm fairly happy with the final result.

 

UChicago Fall 2011

     Some photos I've accumulated of the UChicago campus throughout fall quarter. I haven't had as much time to shoot photos for the blog this quarter because I am now a photography editor at our school newspaper, the Chicago Maroon. You can view the photos I've taken for the Maroon here. Also, I recently picked up an iPhone 4S, and have been enjoying the much improved camera. Two of the photos in this set were taken on my iPhone - see if you can tell which ones...
