The Wisconsin Institute of CPAs met last night at the Milwaukee Public Museum, one of the largest public museums in the country. The place is an incredible archeological time tunnel into
the past. The get together was on the first floor, with dinner in the Streets of Old Milwaukee and European Village area of the museum. The event was first class all the way, thanks to event planner Victoria's (WICPA) exquisite attention to detail. The tables were elegantly set and the food was superb. It was a fun shoot with a fun group of folks. Thanks to Maria for suggesting to the WICPA the museum as a location, and to Sherry Albrecht for her charming company at dinner.
I shot the event handheld using a Nikon D200 w/18-200 VR lens. Many of the shots were done by available light with the camera set to P (program - I use this setting most of the time) and auto white balanced. I also used a Nikon SB800 speedflash for fill on some of the coule and group shots. Post production was through Adobe Lightroom for color and exposure etc.
About the Milwaukee Public Museum:
"From its modest beginnings in 1882, the Milwaukee Public Museum currently houses over 6 million specimens. Permanent exhibits are contained in three and a half floors of exhibit area, with additional space for traveling and temporary exhibits. Tour the Museum's 150,000 square feet of exhibit space to visit Africa, Asia, Europe, the Arctic, South and Middle America, the Pacific Islands and a Costa Rican Rainforest.
Take a small step back in time to the turn-of-the-century Streets of Old Milwaukee and European Village and to ancient Mediterranean civilizations. Or, take a giant leap back more than 65 million years to The Third Planet, see the world's largest-known dinosaur skull and a life-sized replica of Tyrannosaurus rex. Stroll amid free-flying butterflies from around the world in The Puelicher Butterfly Wing."

My grandson Austyn turns 3 today. He's down in West Palm Beach & I'm here in Wisconsin shooting a gig at the Milwaukee Museum tomorrow. I can't be with him, but I'll be wishing him a fun filled birthday all day long. Isn't he the cutest grandkid ever! I shot this natural light photo last Fall in Wisconsin Dells.
