Walk Home...Look Up! by taffy

Walk Home...Look Up!

I worked late and headed home feeling sad I'd missed the blue hour and missed the golden hour. But the sky was pretty interesting so I went up to the roof to hang out a bit. This was my reward. It is my favorite Chicago sunset shot of my album. Did process in HDR combining three shots to capture all the swirls of color as best I could. And did it without a tripod using continuous shots which I would never have known about without 365!
BUT, if you have time, please check out my tiger shot from the zoo yesterday -- I wanted to put it in my main album, if only I'd taken it today... http://365project.org/taffy/the-also-ran-ph/2013-10-07
