Gnome Knoll
Another in my skiing Santa gnome series. I was taking a continuing education photography course at the time and didn’t have any studio lights. Still, this little guy never fails to bring a smile to my face. Eaves, Chris (Nov. 7, 2008). Gnome Knoll [Photograph]. Schaumburg, Illinois. Shot on a Canon Digital Rebel XTi at…

Sentinel III
The final one in my series on the abandoned Guánica lighthouse. This one I keep on my desk at work. Identical shot, but post-processed as a B&W image instead. Eaves, Chris (April 23, 2009).

Sentinel
Known as the “Ruinas del Faro de Guánica,” this abandoned Guánica lighthouse dates back to 1893. I’ve named this photo series “Sentinel” in honor of Robustiano Rivera, who served as lighthouse keeper and alerted the local mayor of the invading American fleet back in 1898.

Blending In
Part of me wants to convert this photo to black & white, but I just can’t give up the beautiful color of the Gulf Coast water. Eaves, Chris (March 26, 2018). Blending In [Photograph]. Destin, Florida. Shot on a Canon 6D at 100mm, 1/250 sec., f8.0, ISO100

Faith
Juneau is a magical town with amazing sights all around it, although sometimes the horizon can be pretty close at hand. Eaves, Chris (July 21, 2007). Faith [Photograph]. Juneau, Alaska. Shot on a Canon Digital Rebel XTi at 80mm, 1/800 sec., f13, ISO400.

Rafters
Sometimes it pays to look up. I had been working the speakers’ track at Greenfest, and couldn’t resist taking a frame of the rafters and the lights in the beautiful Grand Ballroom at Navy Pier. Eaves, Chris (May 17, 2008). Rafters [Photograph]. Chicago, Illinois. Shot on a Canon Digital Rebel XTi at 80mm, 1/100 sec.,…

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.

Boston Playtime
I was impressed by how active Bostonians are, and how their ability to get out and do things after work doesn’t end at the shoreline. Eaves, Chris (April 24, 2018). Boston Playtime [Photograph]. Location. Shot on an LG G7 at 4.03mm, 1/1300 sec., f1.8, ISO50

Epic Creek
“Epic Creek” isn’t really the name of this creek in Yellowstone National Park, but that’s what I’m going to call it, anyway. Eaves, Chris (July 7, 2017). Epic Creek [Photograph]. Yellowstone National Park. Shot on a Canon 6D at 17mm, 1/50 sec., f13, ISO320

Left Leaning
Another shot from that 2008 trip to Canada’s capital. The tower, known as Peace Tower, is so tall (302ft) that craning your neck is almost a given. Eaves, Chris (Sept. 1, 2008). Left Leaning [Photograph]. Ottawa, Canada. Shot on a Canon Digital Rebel XTi at 40mm, 1/50 sec., f22, ISO100
-
Parliament
Here’s another photo from our trip to Canada’s capital, this time of the Centre Block. Looking back at these older photos, it’s easy to see the mistakes I made, such as shooting at f22 and having some dust in or on the lens, framing, etc. Eaves, Chris (Sept. 1, 2008). Parliament [Photograph]. Ottawa, Canada. Shot…
-
Hallowed Halls
Walking through the capitol buildings in Ottawa, there’s a moment when the tour goes from Parliament to the Library of Parliament. I loved the color of light in the hallway, the warmth and texture of the ceiling and the cold and shine of the floor. Eaves, Chris (Sept. 1, 2008). Hallowed Halls [Photograph]. Ottawa, Canada.…

Chicago River
At least on this stretch of the Chicago River, tour boat and pleasure craft have replaced the industrial traffic, and the wonderful architecture of the city shines above the waters. Eaves, Chris (July 20, 2014). Chicago River [Photograph]. Chicago, Illinois. Shot on a Canon 40D at 17mm, 1/400 sec., f10, ISO100.
