Foggy Fox River Valley
Twas a beautiful morning along the Fox River Valley today, and I couldn’t resist a few photos of my favorite tree. Here’s an in-the-field version from the camera to my phone. 1/200 F14 ISO100 at 105mm on Oct. 23, 2021 in Carpentersville, Ill.

Americana Still Life No. 4
The final entry in this 4-part series, we return to Cary, Illinois. The rusted-tin roof of this low-slung outbuilding marked a gathering spot for some kind of local hike. The foundation of a long-gone building sits in the foreground. Eaves, Chris (Oct. 13, 2018). Americana Still Life No. 4 [Photograph]. Cary, Illinois. Shot on a Canon 6D…

Americana Still Life No. 1
Today I kick-off a quick 4-part Americana series. We had a wet year in 2018, and sometimes that extra water makes for extra-interesting opportunities. The good people over at All Seasons Orchard in Woodstock, Illinois, set up a beautiful still-life scene with a wet spot in their field. We’ve gone apple picking there several times in…

Winter on the Farm
Frozen fields, snow on the roofs, barren trees. I love scenes like this one. A keen eye might say that I’m over-processing the photograph, but the white glow on the trees isn’t from post-processing, it’s from the ice storm the night before. The trees all had a beautiful silver shimmer that day. Eaves, Chris (Feb.…

Field Studies No. 2
OK, we’re back at it with another shootout between a full-frame DSLR, the Canon 6D with a pancake 40mm and a Bronica SQ-A medium format film camera with the kit Zenzanon 80mm (40mm full frame equivalent). I’ve square-cropped the DSLR’s image to make it a fair comparison. Let’s set the stage: Here’s a view…

Field Studies No. 1
Last year I acquired a Bronica SQ-A medium format film camera. I wanted to see the difference between it and the full-frame Canon 6D I normally use. After a few YouTube tutorials, I hopped in the car and stopped for a few quick shots, using the 6D as an expensive light meter. Of course, it…

Monk Tree
I drive by this location occasionally, and the tree on the plain sometimes looks like a tall monk, standing in meditation. Here it is early in the morning on a beautiful autumnal day. Eaves, Chris (Sept. 30, 2012). Monk Tree [Photograph]. South Barrington, Illinois. Shot on a Canon 40D at 17mm, 1/60 sec., f16, ISO200.

Wind Farming
The size and scale of these wind turbines are extraordinary as they silently spin, generating power for the green grid. Eaves, Chris (June 29, 2011). Wind Farming [Photograph]. Southern Wisconsin. Shot on a Canon 40D at 25mm, 1/1250 sec., f4.0, ISO100

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.

Montana Fields
On a dirt road, waaaay outside Bozeman, Montana, I made a questionable choice to leave the interstate. The road was paved, for a while, and it rained a bit. Then the road turned to gravel, the plain turned into a steep hill, and I suddenly realized I should have rented an SUV or a Subaru…
