Looking south towards the Sears Tower. Amazing how quickly the storm front passed through and the blue sky reasserted itself.

A sight now consigned to history?

After a couple of sinkings in the Albert Dock, I believe that this service has been suspended.

Call me corny? What about a name like this? (See large.)

If you are going out to the city to shoot this weekend, or wherever you may be going, you can improve your chances of getting new and interesting photos by choosing a theme. By choosing a theme for your adventure, your mind will be tuned into new possibilities.

 

For shooting in Chicago, there are a lot of different themes that you could choose. You could decide to focus your day’s shooting on abstract shots of buildings. You would spend the entire day looking for abstract reflections or interesting details in the city. If you go out searching for that one epic shot of Chicago, you never take the time to concentrate on those details. Your theme could be a color, a particular object, or a type of shot.

 

Some ideas: windows, doors, long exposures, car trails, shooting straight up, birds, people, statues, clouds, reflections, motion, patterns.

 

Next time you go out for a shoot, think about a theme. You just might get a shot that you wouldn’t have gotten otherwise. Good luck this weekend. Maybe I will see you downtown.

 

Do you have any other good ideas for a photo adventure theme? Let me know in the comments.

The reflecting clouds on the Streets of Chicago.

So much is luck...I wanted the reflections of the buildings and never noticed the clouds until later. I think that this picture shows why this building is considered a masterpiece.

Flanked by 55 West Wacker on the left and OneEleven on the right, the former United Building towers above the Chicago river with its post-modern Roman Pantheon inspired architecture. Something about 77's design just clicks for me and is still easily my favorite in Chicago.
