Intrepid photographer at the Cloud Gate sculpture (aka "The Bean"), Millennium Park, Chicago, IL USA
Had a chance to play with the new Canon Ultra Wide 11-24. This thing is so wide I think it can see behind you!
Cloud Gate, aka The Bean, is a hallmark of Chicago. A publicly available art piece which can be observed, perceived, admired in almost infinite uniquely beautiful ways. I had never watched it from this angle before.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_Gate will take you to more info about it.
Have an amazing weekend in spite of Covid & cold weather.
Thank you for your visit :))
A view of part of the Chicago skyline through the overhead latticework of Millennium Park’s Jay Pritzker Pavillion. In the distance, the silver sculpture Cloud Gate (or “The Bean”) can be seen.
Hopefully this is an interesting take on the Bean, Chicago.
It looks better full screen so please press "L" and check it
Alternative view of the Cloud Gate sculpture in Millennium Park, Chicago.
From this angle the installation is more like a droplet of liquid mercury than a bean.
Day and night, photographers flock to "The Bean" to capture this chrome sculpture's great reflections of Chicago and themselves.
had a lot of fun shooting this, I think I will have to go back!

Cloud Gate is British artist Anish Kapoor's first public outdoor work installed in the United States.
The 110-ton elliptical sculpture is forged of a seamless series of 168 stainless steel plates welded together, its highly polished exterior has no visible seams, which reflect Chicago’s famous skyline and the clouds above. A 12-foot-high arch provides a "gate" to the concave chamber beneath the sculpture, inviting visitors to touch its mirror-like surface and see their image reflected back from a variety of perspectives. The Bean because of its shape, measures 33 by 66 by 42 feet (10 by 20 by 13 m).
many iconic photos of this sculpture are available; it's probably the most photographed item in Chicago. This was from my visit in 2012

On New Year's Eve I received a text message from my co-worker Chris, who was stressing out after his wedding photographer cancelled on him and his fiancee just two days before their wedding. On short notice, Chris asked me to fill in, and I was sold as soon as he mentioned that he had booked an hour at the Rookery, one of Chicago's most photogenic buildings, and a bucket list photo location of mine. In addition to the Rookery, the 3 of us managed to stop at Cloudgate, the Chicago Theatre, and the Chicago Board of Trade. The day was a major success and we had a blast covering the four 4 photo locations in 3 hours with 2 wardrobes, and 1 minor traffic violation, all while practicing safe social distancing!

Fisheye Fever: This is another shot from my first 15 minutes with a fisheye lens. When you take a close-up photo of the Bean with a normal length lens it looks as though it was taken with fisheye lens. So what if you take a photo of the Bean with an actual fisheye lens? It looks as though it will suck in the entire city.
"Guess what?! I got a fever, and the only prescription is more fisheye!"

AKA Cloudgate

Cloud Gate, a public sculpture by Indian-born British artist Anish Kapoor, is the centerpiece of the AT&T Plaza in Millennium Park within the Loop community area of Chicago, Illinois, United States. The sculpture and AT&T Plaza are located on top of Park Grill, between the Chase Promenade and McCormick Tribune Plaza & Ice Rink. Constructed between 2004 and 2006, the sculpture is nicknamed "The Bean" because of its bean-like shape. Made up of 168 stainless steel plates welded together, its highly polished exterior has no visible seams. It is 33 by 66 by 42 feet (10 by 20 by 13 m), and weighs 110 short tons.
Said to have been inspired by liquid mercury, the sculpture's surface reflects and distorts the city's skyline. Visitors are able to walk around and under Cloud Gate's 12-foot (3.7 m) high arch. On the underside is the "omphalos" (Greek for "navel"), a concave chamber that warps and multiplies reflections.

Cloud Gate, or as it is more commonly and affectionately known, the Bean, is a sculpture in Chicago's Millennium Park by British artist Anish Kapoor. Explore #164, 24/09/14.
I used a 9-stop nd filter here to blur some of the people. Some of them are still pretty sharp because they were standing still posing for selfies in the Bean's reflective surface. I like how it's turned out but I think it would have been more effective if there were a few more people around.

Cloud Gate, also known as the Bean, was under construction between 2004 and 2006. It is located at the Millennium Park, downtown Chicago, just north of Buckingham fountain.
Note: LE shots can bring out the ghostly appearance. I decided to leave the foreground look of people walking a front of my camera 4+ min shutter exposure.
