Family Reunion

With our families growing, it hasn't been as easy to get together for the holidays as it has been in the past. This year, Aunt Karen orchestrated a family reunion at Drace Park in Town and Country. It was great to see everybody! See the entire gallery of pics here.

Biggest Moon of the Year

March 19th was apparently one of those strange days where the moon is closest to planet Earth for once in like... years. I thought about this for a while I laid in bed watching Jimmy Fallon... I thought about how I've never taken a picture of the moon before... and finally, I mustered the energy to get up, dig my tripod out of the closet, and attempt to capture this astrologic phenomenon.

I used a tripod, an intervalometer (for the external shutter release), a 70-200mm lens, and camera settings - iso 200, f/5.6, 1/800s

The resulting picture is below. I am pretty pleased with it! It's amazing to see so many details!

Gregan's EuroTrip

My wife and I recently took the vacation of our lives. We flew to London, took the Chunnel to Paris, flew to Rome, took a train to Sienna, then Florence, Cinque Terre, Pisa, then back to Florence to grab an overnight train to Munich for Oktoberfest, then ended it all with a night in Dublin. Needless to say, it was both fantastic and extremely exhausting. I schlepped the Mark ii every step of the way, which resulted in over 1500 photos, which I've narrowed down to around 1200 for your viewing pleasure :)

My wife was shooting snapshots with an Olympus Stylus 1030 SW, and I have included those pictures as they were taken chronologically throughout the gallery also.

Instead of posting one monstrous gallery, I broke everything up by city. You can view the photos in the order they were taken by viewing the galleries from top to bottom. My favorite gallery is probably Cinque Terre :)

London, England | Paris, France | Rome, Italy | Sienna, Italy | Florence, Italy | Cinque Terre, Italy | Pisa, Italy | Munich, Germany | Dublin, Ireland

The Montgomery Home

My mother and her husband have an amazing place in Mahomet, IL. I felt like Snow White the entire weekend I stayed there. I took pictures to give you an idea of what I'm talking about.
