MKEimages.com Image of the Day - "That's one small step for a man; one giant leap for mankind"..... Neil Armstrong. While our image today is of course not Milwaukee related we would like to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of NASA's first manned mission to the moon, July 20, 1969. Interestingly, this iconic image of Buzz Aldrin taken by Neil Armstrong is a scan of a photo that was printed from the original film negatives that were brought back on Apollo 11.

"Obviously we were pleased when approached by the publisher, Pace Communication, to locate the quality images that they were seeking to produce the publication. Other than using many of our exciting stock images we also performed location shoots of Cory Nettles (Quarles and Brady LLP) and Adam Siegel (executive chef for Bacchus and Bartolotta's Lake Park Bistro). This type of publication is suited to our unique type of Milwaukee imagery and we were very comfortable in working with Pace", says Mark Bertieri, editor of MKEimages.com.

Converging Verticals

With the popularity of digital cameras and the explosion of images on the internet the perspective distortion of "converging verticals" is almost becoming the norm. Structures contain parallel lines and parallel lines do not converge. Depending on the length of the lines (or planes) they do give the impression of converging but that is far off in the distance, railroad tracks are a good example. We have all seen it, buildings and houses slanting in from the sides to a central point, or light poles curving into the scene. The images above on the left shows the distortion while the image on the right is the corrected version. Click here for the rest of the story.....

Ice Shanty

MKEimages.com is pleased to present the image "Ice Shanty" to show our unique imagery and our photographers capabilities. While we specialize in images of Milwaukee we also cover the entire SE Wisconsin region. "Ice Shanty" was taken just North of Fond du Lac on Lake Winnebago. The image is actually a combination of 3 different exposures and merged into one. This technique is called HDR or High Dynamic Range photography which creates a 3D like appearance.
