S-Curve

Are you in for a tip? Stay with me for a sec. It’s been a great winter so far in my opinion and we had enough snow and ice here in Chicago to get some great shots. In one of my previous posts I covered one way to shoot the snow. My second tip is to shoot the snow at a high shutter speed even in low light conditions. To get a higher shutter speed I usually crank up my ISO settings sometimes even up to 6400. My camera is pretty good even at that ISO settings and chances are great that yours will be too. Don’t be afraid to shoot like that because the snow will register as grain in the camera too and you will not be able to distinguish those two in the final result. What do you think?

Do you ever sneak in? I’ve made a ton of trips to this same place over the past year and while it is not to difficult to sneak in here I still feel the pressure every time I walk in. The reward is this great vista of the downtown area and the opportunity to capture this curvy train intersection. This is very unique place and I was surprised to see how in just 6 months it is completely transformed in to something very different. The urban landscapes change very fast in the big city and I’m always excited to see the new changes and the new buildings rise in Chicago. As many others I did capture this city corner earlier but for unknown reason I never got to post it. I’m happy that I get this frame now in the early stages of the development. What do you think?

Is anyone having a great morning today? I’m very excited to be back today and to start sharing some photos again with you guys. Past month was great and I got to pack almost a month of traveling. Even though I left the Chicago for a few weeks, I feel like in some way, Chicago never left me. For a brief moment every morning when I wake up, I instinctively felt as I was still here in a way. So for this post I’m going back to one of the cityscapes corners. What do you think?

How often do you shoot with your smartphone? I’ve made this shot a few days ago with my iPhone….! Sorry I just taught it might be funny to start this post with a joke ;) This is not an iPhone shot! After seeing my latest post I got a tip from my friend Adam to check this place out and so I did. After encountering the security of this building the wide smile and a kind word got me two full hours of shooting from this location. This is just one view of the Chicago from this location, there will be a few more to come. What do you think?

Anyone for a Monochrome Monday? It’s snowing again and everything feels grey once more, so as Ansel Adams once said: “A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.” What do you think?
