Last night we returned back homefrom a week long trip to Chicago. Rather than being called the windy city, I think a better name for Chicago would be the overcast city (at least from what I saw last week). Despite the weather there are certainly lots of photographic opportunties. The only really good weather that we saw during the entire week was yesterday morning, and I really took advantage of that blue sky. I was out at sunrise and shot until 9:30 am when I had to return to the hotel, check out and head for O’Hare and the flight back home. I shot over 800 images in 4 hours yesterday morning, which is just over 3 images per minute. A lot of them were bracketed exposures for HDR, so that accounts for quite a few of them, but apart from that I still took hundreds of images.
While I was photographing “The Bean” at sunrise I ran into the group on Bryan Peterson’s Chicago Photo Workshop. Apart from saying hi, I didn’t stop to chat as I was trying to race around to make the best of the light and my limited amount of time.
We’ll be in Ottawa for the next week and a half before heading off on our next trip to upstate New York, which will be another short trip.
