Reed City Starbursts

Reed City at Blue Hour

When I talk about places in Michigan full of things to see and do, Reed City rarely makes the list. Reed City is a city of crossroads. US 131 intersects with US 10 in Reed City. Two of the states premier Rail-to-Trails, The White Pine Trail and the Pere Marquette Trail also intersect in town. This makes Reed City a destination for trail bikers and snowmobilers.

I recently heard about a photo technique called the starburst effect. For photographers, you’ll need a tripod and a camera set to a small aperture (read, higher number: F18, F20…). So, when I saw the lights, I had to try it out and I like what I got!

Windy City at Dusk

Windy City at Dusk *EXPLORED*

My most recent vacation was a weekend trip to Chicago after New Years. It was a busy, museum-filled trip with my favorite being a traveling Disney Archives Exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry. We got the CityPass for this trip and it really paid off! It didn’t make much of a difference at the SkyDeck or The Field Museum (although we did arrive at the Field in the afternoon when there was no line at all) but it really paid off at the Shedd Aquarium where the line was down the steps and people were waiting out in the open with slush falling from the sky. If you are planning on visiting Chicago and you want to see the sights without worrying about arriving early to avoid lines, the CityPass is definitely worth it!

This photo was taken near dusk on the steps of the Field Museum looking out at the city. I really like how the statue stands taller than the skyscrapers in the distance.
