Some Chicago shots

Rich Rohrich · Jul 8, 2006

Just a few pics from downtown Chicago.

Sepia tone added to a black & white shot

Sweet ... I really like the first one.

Rich Rohrich · Jul 8, 2006

Thanks, but it was mother nature more than me. The light was coming in just right through the buildings and over the river that day, so the reflections off the buildings and the water were really cool. The river didn't look as murky as it usually does.

I have a bunch of pictures from that day that I haven't gone through yet. That one was just sort of a random grab from a group that all sort of looked alike. I should go through them and see if there are any real keepers in the bunch.

You know I'm dying to put my "sky captain" effect on that one :)

Rich Rohrich · Jul 8, 2006

Go for it. :cool:

Okiewan · Jul 8, 2006

As effects go, I'm diggin this one ... realistic, no. But when I get a rather boring shot (often, lol) I can at least make it a little more interesting. No, I'm not saying this is boring at all, the effect just looks like the movie when applied to buildings. Pretty cool on landscapes too.

Rich Rohrich · Jul 8, 2006

You're right, it was a boring picture to start with. :) Most of the shots I took that day looked sort of boring on the LCD. That's probably why I haven't done anything with them so far. They looked OK in the viewfinder but nothing really grabbed me when I reviewed them.

Okiewan · Jul 8, 2006

No, I'm not saying this is boring at all

Rich Rohrich · Jul 8, 2006

It's OK, I'm saying it. ;)

Another example from the same day shooting . Nice colors, good scenery, but it just doesn't POP like I wanted it to.

ME TOO!! :yeehaw:

A couple more from the same day.

Okiewan · Jul 9, 2006

That one (with Marina Towers in it) is without doubt the best shot you've posted. Excellent IMHO.

If you're referring to the last one, then I agree. I like the angle.

Just after sunrise this morning at Montrose Harbor.

I need to work on the PS skills one of these days...

Rich Rohrich · Jul 9, 2006

I like the shot as is Lou. Rotate it 1-2 degrees CCW to square the bridge line and a little crop makes a really nice pic. :cool:

As long as we are still on the Chicago / water theme here's another pic from this morning.

Okiewan · Jul 9, 2006

Nice.
I'd probably remove the two birds, they look like censor dust :)
Although, the shot is at F22, it could be dust. I see 7 spots here.

Rich Rohrich · Jul 9, 2006

It's birds. I was paying attention to the ducks and didn't notice the birds up top coming across when I pulled the trigger. :bang:

One more before I head out to go riding.

biglou · Jul 9, 2006

Ah, the corncobs! ;)

LOL :) Here's a view from the river side.

Okiewan · Jul 9, 2006

Trivia.. what movie included a scene of a car flying out of the "corn cobs" ?

Rich Rohrich · Jul 9, 2006

Starring Steve McQueen. ;)

Rich Rohrich · Jul 9, 2006

IBM Plaza

Not a great picture but a cool view of downtown.
