I have always loved this building..

Seems like most of my teenage years had been spent along this stretch of concrete. North ave to Oak st beach, No visit back to my hometown is complete (no matter the weather) without a glimpse of this magical slab.

What it means to capture a moment in time..when it comes together. Not a drop uncertainty as this day unfolded. It happened and I was in it. Fruits of my labor^^^^^^^^^^

This was taken from outside of The Drake on Queen Street West (Toronto) on the evening of Nuit Blanche. The light display that you see was part of The Drake's art contribution for the evening which made for an awesome backdrop for this police officer who was on duty outside of the door.

Out Of Chicago Blog | Google+ | Facebook | Twitter | 500px | Tumblr This may be my favorite shot from our walk Saturday night. The sky was boring without a cloud in the sky. But when I was taking my HDR brackets I realized that the sky looked fantastic when underexposed by a couple of stops. This image is a combination of the HDR image and the 2 stop under bracket. I painted the HDR image in for the buildings and left the single image alone for the ice and sky. Pretty much everything that I learned to do in Photoshop for this shot, I learned from Tony Reynes. I have asked Tony to contribute to the site as our resident Photoshop expert. Meet Tony at www.outofchicago.com/introducing-tony-reynes.

Along the lakefront, Chicago, IL, USA

A classic 1940s motel, where scores of stars, including Dolly Parton and Elvis Presley, once stayed. The Drake Motel draws attention these days because of its hard-luck vibe and nostalgia-inducing neon sign. The 1993 movie "The Thing Called Love", starring River Phoenix and Sandra Bullock was filmed at this site and the video for Jason Aldean's song "The Truth" was also filmed here. It is located on Murfreesboro Road just southeast of Downtown Nashville and minutes from all the main Music City attractions.

 

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

I took a trip downtown last night to capture some of the celebration Chicago was displaying for it's birthday and decided to catch the lights over at Oak Street Beach.

   

I think everyone got this shot on Saturday. The surprising thing was how different everyone's shots looked. Even on the back of the cameras. I saw people that had yellow green skies even. The only difference was the white balance. Today, I've started a series on color. The first article shows you how drastic changing the white balance can be to your image. You can read the article at outofchicago.com/mastering-color-series-part-i-white-bala...

This is from one RAW file that I edited in Lightroom. I chose one of my darker exposures to bring out the color in the buildings and especially the sky. Come check out a guest post by Luis dos Santos about shooting some of Chicago's best architecture. outofchicago.com/guest-post-by-luis-dos-santos-chicagos-a...
