Field Tracks

Field Tracks

It’s a field, with tracks from a vehicle. Eaves, Chris (Oct. 18, 2007). Field Tracks [Photograph]. Hoffman Estates, Illinois. Shot on a Canon Digital Rebel XTi at 39mm, 1/320 sec., f13, ISO1600.

The site is back up!

The site is back up!

We’re back up, and with a new theme to boot! I liked the old one, but this one works a little better with my images. I’ve also revised some of the plugins to make things easier. Thanks for your patience while everything was put back […]

Apologies for the Mess

Apologies for the Mess

Sorry, the site is recovering from a bot intrusion. I’ll be back up with beautiful photos shortly.

Grand Tetons

Grand Tetons

It feels like cheating when pointing the camera at something so inherently beautiful. Eaves, Chris (July 5, 2017). Grand Tetons[Photograph]. Grand Tetons National Park, Wyoming. Taken on a Canon 6D at 17mm, 1/80  sec., f11 ISO100.  

Grilling

Grilling

Grilling season is here. I can smell the BBQ just sitting here. Eaves, Chris (May 30, 2009). Grilling [Photograph]. Schaumburg, Illinois. Shot on a Canon 40D at 23mm, 1/500 sec., f4.0, ISO400

Time Tower

Time Tower

Elgin, Illinois was once a timekeeping and industrial marvel as home to the Elgin National Watch Company, and the Elgin Tower Building stands as a reminder of a time when winding up a pocket watch was something respectable men did. Built in 1929, the timing couldn’t have been worse for a tower built by a bank.

  • Eaves, Chris (Sept. 7, 2007). Time Tower [Photograph]. Elgin, Illinois. Shot on a Canon Digital Rebel XTI at 18mm, 1/200 sec., f9.0, ISO100.
Twins

Twins

My default featured image sizing crops this image in a bad place, so I’ve used a different method here (looks smaller). Eaves, Chris (May 10, 2008). Twins[Photograph]. Chicago, Illinois. Shot on a Canon Digital Rebel XTi at 60mm, 1/1000 sec., f2.8, ISO100.

Kentucky Road

Kentucky Road

Rain can make things just look better. Tree trunks darken. Roads shimmer. Here’s the view as we hiked down the bluff. Eaves, Chris (Sept. 3, 2010). Kentucky Road [Photograph]. Corbin, Kentucky. Shot on a Canon 40D at 90mm, 1/100 sec., f22, ISO800.

Comfortable

Comfortable

A departure from my normal stuff … here a farm kitten decides to take a nap in a girl’s arms—a girl the kitten has never before met.

  • Eaves, Chris (Aug. 31, 2014). Comfortable [Photograph]. Door County, Wisconsin. Shot on a Canon PowerShot SD880IS at 5mm, 1/400 Sec., f5.6, ISO400.
Southern Falls

Southern Falls

Known as the “Niagara of the South,” the Cumberland Falls near Corbin, Kentucky make for a nice stopover spot after a long day in the car. Eaves, Chris (Sept. 3, 2010). Southern Falls[Photograph]. Cumberland Falls, Kentucky. Shot on a Canon 40D at 70mm, 1/5 sec., […]

Idahoan Fields

Idahoan Fields

“Just one more stop,” I said, apologizing to the family as I pulled onto the shoulder of the road. The fence. The barn. The poofball weeds. The clouds. The fading sun. The whole scene oozed character. #noregrets Eaves, Chris (July 3, 2017). Idahoan Fields[Photograph]. Victor, […]
