Buckingham Spray

Daniel ( @danielwsc) and I had arranged to meet at Buckingham Fountain for a photo walk tonite. Walking at dusk toward the plaza in Grant Park, as I crossed the bridge, I could see the 150 foot spray in the distant. The trees in front were in full bloom and the sky was layered (but it took some processing to bring them out). I do love Chicago! The actual fountain is in my main album for today - http://365project.org/taffy/365/2013-05-15.

I know I'm sounding like a broken record, but I love, love, love your shots. I showed my husband your shots too (we are huge fans of Chicago, so every shot we go, "oh, I wish I could be there!!"), and he just loves your work too.

great colors. the layers of the photo are quite complimentary to each other. wonderful shot

Thank you all so much! Took a quick peak at your photos instead of replying individually -- so much more fun to see your work!!

[Daniel]

Great shot! Such a good idea to put some trees in front of the spout to give a sense of scale. And great job on the clouds!

[Taffy]

@danielwsc Thanks Daniel! It was a fun quick meetup! I'm looking forward to seeing you photos -- hard to keep up, isn't it? Today I thought I"d 'save time' and learn HDR to use last night's photos. Not a time saver at all, but totally fun.

[Sean O'Neill]

This is so good. Well composed, great lines, great colours and saturation. I like!!

[Kazzy]

Lovely that one area can give you so much diversity to your shots. Love your processing :)

[Taffy]

@kazlamont You're so right about this -- there were other shots that on a normal day would have been ones I'd want to post. I'd not been over there at night in years and had forgotten how amazing it is. And it's so close I'm hoping to go back again soon.
