Streeterville Skyline Reflected
Taken from one of the rarely used fountains in Olive Park. I think this is my 4th visit to Olive park this year and each time I hoped to find some standing water in one of the fountains to take a reflection shot. Last night was the night.
It was pretty windy last night. Somehow I managed to get a couple of brackets off without having the wind wipe away the reflection. Stupid wind. Also I nearly took a header stalking around what was apparently a rather slippery fountain. Who knew slip resistant water shoes are an essential photography requirement.
Processed in Lightroom after using Photomatix to create a 32-bit HDR TIFF. I've tried this workflow a couple of times before but didn't like the result as much as tonemapping or blending by hand. This time the 32-bit version turned out the best.
