So, story time to go with the photo. I went for coffee with a friend last night; we went to a nice little coffee house in Milwaukee down on Lake Michigan called Colectivo, it’s a local roaster with a shop built into an old flushing pump station (this is a cool rabbit hole to read down, if you’re bored). Anyways, the shop closed, and their parking lot exit only allows you to exit in one direction, which happens to be the wrong direction; towards downtown, rather than toward the East Side. I turned around in my normal place, which is Lagoon Drive that is the main thoroughfare through Veteran’s Park. While turning around, I noticed that the namesake Lagoon had a breathtaking reflection of the city skyline. But I didn’t have my camera. I broke the number one rule: the camera you have is better than the camera you don’t. So I drove my friend home and promptly to my home to grab my gear. When I got back to the park, I looked at the clock and then the Park’s Department employees putting barricades in front of the road. 10:30 PM. Park’s closed. I tucked my tail and went home.
Tonight, I went to a newer brewery in town (Like Minds Brewing, opened October 2016) and tried a few of their brews. I had my mind blown by an imperial IPA named Julia. Seriously, if you’re ever in Milwaukee, go here, drink here, never leave. I also drank some of the best sour beers I’ve had since Asheville, NC. Like Minds. Remember that. Great beer. Milwaukee.
I digress. Long story short, I packed my camera gear in the car (which I was not driving because I was drinking!), and went to the same spot off of Lagoon Drive tonight and took some nice long exposures. This one was taken at ISO 200, 30 seconds at F10 at 50mm with my sexy new Canon 6D. I hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I enjoyed taking it.
