Chicago River @ Harrison Street Bridge by taffy

Chicago River @ Harrison Street Bridge

Walking home from Printers Row to Little Italy across Harrison, using manual settings (day 2!!) and my tripod to try to capture the lights over the river. It was a beautiful walk, if cold and VERY windy -- gusts were blowing cyclists off to the side and one gust almost knocked me over.
This is really gorgeous!! I have yet to use my tripod to take a shot like this..

@elizabeth264 I like the skyline, but this picture makes me crave the Billy Goat.

@elizabeth264 Sorry Elizabeth I hit reply by accident when I was commenting.
The Billy Goat Tavern is what I was referencing there is a location on Wells a couple blocks from this bridge. Made famous in a SNL sketch.

Beautiful capture! I like how the sepia tone combines the warmth of the light with the darkness of the night. There's a calmness to the scene, despite the wind! It's really beautiful.

A lovely night shot with great lights. Ooh, going manual is very exciting isn't it!

Nicely done, a very well judged exposure with the right aperture to force those star flares.

Thank you all for your positive comments! I'm inspired by many of the photographers on 365 who take such wonderful shots of their cities. As it warms up a bit, I'm excited to do more of these.
