Chicago Skyline Panorama

So Chicago recorded the coldest New Year's ever. According to the news, "The National Weather Service says it was the coldest New Year’s Day on record in Chicago with a high of 1 degree (-17 Celsius).The bitter cold is continuing Tuesday, with wind chills forecast between - 35 F (-37 C) and - 20F (-39 C) in the Chicago area." But would that keep photographers inside? Nope. Especially when we had a driver (aka Bill) to take us to the lakeside and wait while Taffy and I took a round of photos for a couple of panoramas. 15 for this one.

PS It is so beautifully sharp in LR but uploading to 365 makes it softer . . .

Oh, and here's a one-shot iPhone panorama: https://365project.org/jyokota/challenges-and/2018-01-02

Beautiful scene - fav!

[Issi Bannerman]

What a beautiful image Junko. Those people on the edge of the frame make it quite perfect.

[Richard Hickey]

Awesome picture.

[Sean O'Neill]

A wonderful view of one of my favourite places.

[Taffy]

Well captured and stitched. Isn't LR an amazing tool to be able to draw on!! I like the lighting quite a bit. Mine is very similar so I think I'll post something totally different -- if I post it eventually, I'll link back and let you know.

[Lesley Aldridge]

Fabulous shot

[Rob Z]

Wonderful in so many ways!

[Junko Y]

@taffy --but you sent me two quite different ones -- the black and white, and the pinkish one . . . how about those?

[gloria jones]

Fabulous composition, scale

[marie]

This looks amazing, I especially like how you got the light and the violet sky left and the blue part of it on the right. Also, I guess it's warmer than in Munich.

[Marnie]

Yep, this one is much sharper and has more visual appeal.

[summerfield]

hmmm...maybe we should have a shoot out at niagara, ladies. :-P this is great pano, junko. aces!

[Lou Ann]

Picture perfect!!

[Krista Marson]

[Tom]

Wonderful onslaught of night and then sun in this city scape pano

[Casablanca]

Thank God for thermal underwear, eh!! Lovely shot, enjoyed this in tandem with Taffy's shots too. Love seeing water frozen over.

[HelenM]

This a great. Love how the light gradually changes from one end to the other

[Shepherdman's Wife]

Fab shot

[Taffy]

Thought I'd already fav'd this!

[Rosie Kerr]

Beautiful pano! The light and tones are lovely. Sometimes uploading a big, dense, data-rich shot softens it up in 365. Fav.

[Walks @ 7]

Spectacular! Fav.

[Junko Y]

@summerfield -- did you say, Niagara? Ready. :)

[summerfield]

@jyokota - should be while the falls and river are frozen!

[Junko Y]

@summerfield @taffy -- not this year, but can we plan a trip to see frozen Niagara next winter???

[summerfield]

@jyokota - sure!

[Taffy]

@jyokota @summerfield I'd been thinking about how amazing it would be to see them in person. Our company has a project in Buffalo that I used to be involved in. Wishing I still were to be able to have an excuse to visit!
