Downtown Chicago
Made by sriganeshl
Downtown Chicago: I spent early afternoon in Evanston shooting action shots of Feild Hockey players (those shots can be found ). Then I spent hours in downtown around the Millennium and Grant park areas. Tired and well past sunset, I was on my way from Grant park to the El when I crossed a the bridge over the train tracks of the Purple Line (I think). The sight caught my eye and I didn't waste anytime propping up my tripod and camera. Took two exposures of different times. This one was clearly the better one. Only later when I was examining the photo on the computer did I notice the lights on the 2nd building from the right which had been switched on to sayThe Blues. (There was a blues festival going on in Grant Park that day.) I have another version of this same photo jazzed up in Adobe. You can see it HERE
Aqua Construction
Made by The New No. 2
The construction of the Aqua complex continues in Chicago. Have I mentioned how much fun it is to photograph this building? This image was created by stitching 79 shots together. The full size is about 8000 x 11000 pixels and Flickr continues to choke on it and I cannot get it to display correctly.
Aqua Form
Made by The New No. 2
As construction continues, Aqua's shape and form are beginning to reveal themselves. Aqua is a new skyscraper in downtown Chicago and looks like it is going to become one of my favorite buildings to shoot. Take a closer look.
really, they are safe chemicals
Made by jaymce
they dye the river with some safe organic material or whatever. the dye is supposed to wear off in a few days, but really there are times i have looked at this river well into the summer and have wondered about the permanance of the dye. well, at least there is no wildlife to harm.
