I love the view of the city from the Hancock deck, I think it's much better than the Sears tower because you look back at the city instead of looking down at it. Nice photos!

Great shots! I'll be in Chicago in September for 4 days. Unfortunately, the Hancock/360 deck only allows tripods on Mondays and I won't be there on Monday.

Any suggestions of where I can go for some good blue hour shots? I'll be staying at the Hyatt waterfront, can I walk that area at night with my camera without worrying about getting mugged?

I was walking around with my camera in regular backpack and it was pretty safe (walked along Michigan Ave). To me one of the best place to take photo of the Chicago skyline is from the planetarium (see link below):

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Adler+Planetarium/@41.8651582,-87.6158034,15.26z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x880e2b6fb7b114b5:0x6920a3aa12218ea6!8m2!3d41.866333!4d-87.6067829?hl=en]Google map to Adler Planetarium[/url]

Below are a few shots I took from there:

Fantastic light in the Chicago skyline from John Hancock Tower photo. Not bad especially when you consider you took them with a phone.

You are wise to be concerned about getting robbed. The city appears to be on the verge of out of control. The downtown used to be fairly safe, but no more.

I agree that we need to be concerned about getting robbed while walking around with our camera equipment in any city at night. However, I did not get that downtown Chicago was on the verge of being out of control... to me, it was no different than downtown area in any other major cities ...

Agreed, I'm down here daily for work and frequently at night. You feel safe anywhere a tourist would go.
