More often than not, people make the picture when it comes to photojournalism. I have a habit of weighting the subjects in my frames to the left or right and rarely choose subjects that are centered. I made a point to center some of my images when I was out shooting snow scenes around Aurora today for the paper. These are a few of my favorites that I’ve edited and converted, but you can see what went into the paper here.

A lot of people stopped to take in the sunset tonight.

A lone soldier stands guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns despite Hurricane Irene. (via WestWingReport)
A lone Tomb Sentinel, 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard), walks his tour in humble reverence during Hurricane Irene in Arlington National Cemetery, Va., Aug 27. Members of The Old Guard have guarded the Tomb every second, of every day regardless of weather or holidays since April 6, 1948.

I think I found a new spot to shoot storms from when they are rolling in from the northwest. (via my photo blog)

We just got treated to one hell of a light show.

This little summer shower was nothing like what blew through before it.

I blew up Twitter with this picture last night. It’s a little blurry because of how slow the shutter speed had to be, and the back end was much more impressive from a photo standpoint, but I’m pretty sure that little guy hanging down was a funnel cloud. It was cycling up and down before finally breaking apart.
I really should take the National Weather Service’s SKYWARN class.

Back end of the front as it passed over Naperville. Better watch out, Chicago.

When you’re shooting something that’s moving quickly, sometimes you need to slow down the shutter to get a little motion blur. But you want to make sure everything else in the frame is nice and sharp.
I think this is pretty good for hand-held with a shutter speed of 1/10.

Just a little foggy in the South Loop.
