p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Chicago Skyline [Added Images]


I am slowly starting to work through my images from a trip to Chicago last weekend...I love a good city skyline, and was thrilled to finally shoot the Chicago Skyline. I shot from two different places on 4 occasions...only one skyline image is edited at this point, but I will add the others as they are done.

#1 was shot using the Smooth Reflections App, and is a merge of 32 8 Second exposures.

#2 is a 4 image panorama, each frame was 10 seconds.

#3: One of the last compositions I shot while in Chicago. Walking back to the hotel after shooting a lackluster sunset at North Avenue Beach the waves on Lake Michigan were breaking over the seawall...I could not pass up the reflection in the water.





#1: Chicago Skyline Sunset







#2: As The Lights Come On

Interesting result, the effect feels like a computer rendered image. It's a nice change of pace for a skyline view I've seen, and photographed, many times.

I had not thought of it like that...it is quite clean, almost no noise at all, which is a nice change of pace from standard LE when edited a lot. Thanks for taking the time and the comment.

Great image using the SR app, looks like this one is from Adler, looking forward to more from your Chicago series.

Thanks! Yes, this was from Adler.

I added the second edit from that area. I also found that the SR app does not do well for panoramas. Each frame was a slightly different blend with too much variety in the exposures.

Second one looks great - nice light and cloud formations. Hadn't tried stitching a panorama but that makes sense - thanks for the tip.
