Chicago, IL
This is the Chicago Skyline as seen from the Columbus Drive bridge over the Chicago River. This photo is part of my "How it was Made" series, and you can follow along below to see both how the photo was composed, and also the post processing techniques that were used to create the image.

I tried really hard to get as much of the parking sign reflecting in the puddle as I could. I wish my tripod allowed me to get even lower than it does, unfortunately this was the best I could do. With my snowpants on, I had no problem kneeling on the ground and staying dry. This neighborhood, somewhere in between River North and Streeterville, has a scary feel to it. Not a place I would feel really safe walking in the middle of the night alone.

Today's shot is another angle of the Manhattan Bridge. When I searched flickr for interesting photos of New York, I was immediately drawn to some that I discovered of this bridge. Knowing that the Brooklyn Bridge is generally more renowned, I was happy to discover that they were right next to each other and I was able to get photos of both during the same morning.

Today's post is a third shot of the same composition from the corner of the rooftop at Tribune Tower. I took this same shot with three different lighting conditions: Daytime, Blue Hour, and now night. The photographer in me prefers the blue hour shot since it is such a small window of time where the lighting is most unique, but the Chicagoan in me can't help but prefer the below nighttime version, as I believe it is the truest representation of the city (and I mean that in a good way).

This is the "Hope" sculpture on 53rd street in New York city by artist Robert Indiana. I didn't get the chance to photograph his famous "Love" sculpture, but this is a newer work with a similar theme.
