Taken during a business trip to Chi-Town this past week. The strong

wind from the lake causes light reflection to streak to the right.

Thoughts?

I continue to love your view point of the world we live in :) Eye-catching color, wonderful perspectives & such stately beauty. The water reflections remind me of fireworks, adds awe & dazzle. I like that!

You work is distinctively yours, second to none. Again, I go back to how you handle color. As Yoda would say, "Truely a master you are!"

A beautiful starry moonlit Chicago night well exposed with rich colours. Well captured again, Wilson.

On a trip to Chicago in September, we found the architecture to be very inspiring. Roger and I wandered the streets after dark looking for night shots. Only after we came home did people say to us..."You wandered around Chicago at night? With an expensive camera? What are you, nuts?"

 

Not knowing of any danger, we enjoyed ourselves immensely.

Awesome night shot. Shadow and highlight details fantastic. Your combining exposures really did the trick here. That's something I keep saying I should try but have never seemed to get around to doing it. This image inspires me to do so.

LINDA: Indeed Chi-Town is architecturally inspiring. I did the same, but didn't feel any danger (I used a small digital compact on this trip.) In fact, I might have been the one that scared occasional passerbys since I often hunched down on the ground on the streets looking suspicious!
