Postcard from Chicago, a photo from イリノイ, Midwest

Photographer's Note

Well, this kind of stuff seems to be a crowd-pleaser. Give me a shot of a subway rider any day of the week . . . but there you go.

I lied about the tripod, by the way. I just used a soft bag on table.

This photo and yesterday's were taken from The Signature Room, the bar at the top of the John Hancock building -- the second-highest tower in Chicago.

More about the building here.

Hola amigo Hugh,
This is a really nice nite shot. The POV is great with an excellent depth of field. The lighting is wonderful with great sharpness and detail.

Great postcard Hugh, and you took it at the perfect time of day for this kind of shot.
For me, the drama is at the top of the frame, where the city lights meet the evening sky, so I'd have preferred it with the framing shifted upwards to include more of the sky, losing that black triangle in the process.
Nothing wrong with a bit of crowd-pleasing now and then - now get back down the subway!

Cheers,
Ben

Toujours impressionnant ce type de photos ! Cela laisse songeur et c'est entre autres pour ce type de monde que j'aime tant notre plan鑼e... Un tel univers me semble magique, cela donne envie de s'asseoir les jambes dans le vide en compagnie de quelqu'un que l'on aime vraiment beaucoup et discuter, discuter...*
J'aime beaucoup....
