Chicago's Downtown North Shore at night.
 
This is my first picture post here, hope you all enjoy it! I took this picture last weekend on a trip to Chicago, it is of the shoreline north of the navy pier. Any comments or ideas are welcome!
Thanks

Post more pics of Chicago if you have them... Chicago is one of the best places to photograph.

I ride my bike there on the lake shore path on a daily basis. I love this city. And you got a good shot of it, too.

blindsider 11-12-2004 03:45 PM

Very very nice! :thumbsup: Let me guess, that from the John Hancock observatory.

Awww one of my favorite cities, you did a great job! I love the second picture...post more!!!!!

bermuDa 11-12-2004 08:43 PM

great night shots, I've never been to the windy city. I think your first shot could benefit a bit from cropping the blurry ground out, but the light effects are nifty.

Fate 11-12-2004 08:57 PM

The first shot can be used as a pc background, assuming you use the upper right dark area with (up to you) some transparency effect.

Both pics are definitely awe inspiring.

Here is a building that a friend called "The Watertower", though it doesn't look much like a water tower to me.

This picture is from a bridge on Michigan Ave. looking up the river.

Here is a picture, taken in Millennium park.

Fate, what do you mean by transparency effect? I am a photoshop noob.

Thanks,
Skyler

That is, in fact, the watertower. It and a relatively nearby firehouse are the only two buildings to have survived the Chicago Fire.

Awesome shots you've got here :D

More great photos, blindsider. You probably got one of the last photos of the Sun-Times building before demolition began. Donald Trump is tearing it down to build his own monolith on the site.

blindsider 11-13-2004 07:26 PM

I thought I saw the site where he was building it. A cabbie pointed at a demolished land plot saying that is the new trump building location. That is sad, I liked that building!

inharmony 11-15-2004 05:09 AM

Really like the night shots, thanks.

Chicago at night is one of my favorite things. The best is flying into O'Hare at night and doing the fly by of the city. I'll be back in town next week, I'll see if I can come up with some photos as well.

onodrim 11-16-2004 01:08 PM

These are all spectacular! And being from the Chicago area myself, I can really apprecaite them. :)

LIMilf 11-23-2004 07:57 PM

LoganSnake 11-25-2004 11:16 AM

electricman191 11-25-2004 04:56 PM

I love night shots, what kind of camera, I seem to have trouble with night shots with my digital camera.

I flew out of Chicago on one 4th of July evening about four or five years ago. What a spectacle that was -- fire works shows going on all around the city. This photo just reminded me of that....thanks for posting!
