Shot this basket ball sized sculpture (these are part of hand rails) on the bridge close by Roosevelt and State Street in downtown Chicago.
For folks not familiar with Chicago skyline, the skyscraper in the background is the Willis Towers (aka Sears Tower)
One thing I have been wanting to try before finishing up my Photo 365 project is with street photography. I had a perfect opportunity to try it out last night. Went for a walk along Michigan Ave last night for about an hour.
One big issue that I had to toil with during my walk was bitter cold weather. I think the temperature was in the teens and the wind chill was 9F. May be I should try doing this again in summer time.
Shot this while folks were waiting for the signal to cross the road.
I picked this one amongst other shots for its festive mood and anticipation of waiting…
I remember seeing this hot dog vendor bustling with people back in May. When I went there this noon, this place was closed – although I spotted couple of other hot dog vendors still open by the Shed Aquarium. I am guessing proximity of this store to the lake being the reason.
Another shot from this noon during my walk along Michigan lake…shot this across from Shed Aquarium.
If you are following my 365 project, this picture should look a bit familiar – I had these trees in row shot back in May (Day:142). I am visiting Chicago, and want to go back and see/shoot those trees in winter.
So I got bundled up on this cold day and went for a walk along Michigan Lake early this afternoon and shot these trees with snow covered ground.
Shot these Hindu Idols at a friend’s house this morning.
We are visiting friends in Chicago and this friend of us whom we are visiting has a very good collection of Hindu idols and arts from India. Went through her collection this morning and picked these idols for today’s shot.
Shot these closet doors last night in my friend’s house. I was drawn the repetitive pattern of light creeping through the cracks and openings in the door.
Shot this @f/8 for 6sec exposure.
Shot of a plaque for day:358
Remember this shot from August?
We are visiting friends and family in Chicago area and shot these town homes this morning. With the snow on ground from couple of days ago and grey sky, this shot rather turned out to be OK.
But I still like the idea of taking shots of places I visit in different seasons.
Had a busy day today and didn’t get to shoot until late this evening.
Did a shot of gift bag that my daughter and wife had put together for my daughter’s class teacher.
Want to wish Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays for my fellow bloggers.
