The boy scouts of Jackson Park School, held their annual chili cook off and I was there with my camera. Mostly I was playing with the Pentax 16-50mm f/2.8 lens that I rented and wanted to see how it worked in the low light. It did a good job, but trying to add a little fill light with just the camera’s built in flash caused a nasty round shadow at the bottom of the image. Typical for a large lens with lens hood on.
Olivia’s brownie troop was there selling desserts that really hit the spot after trying to taste 20 different chili recipes. 
I was then asked by Mr. Barnes to get some photos of the award winners. He sure does appear to have fun being the emcee.
