Looking Up on a Sunny Day

Andie @ukandie1 and I were able to go on another walking tour by the Chicago Architectural Foundation, this time to the Illinois Center Pedway and surrounding area. One spot was a hidden plaza situated among skyscrapers and some classic structures like the Wrigley Building.
Taken with a fisheye lens.
Check out Andie's -- same spot, different lens (and her stellar b&w processing!): https://365project.org/ukandie1/365/2018-02-27

Wonderful composition here! Almost a logo.

What a fun shot the fish eye makes...I was going to post earlier, but was dithering between a few shots. Now seeing this I know what I will post in the morning when I get back to my computer.

[Taffy]

@ukandie1 Oh good -- I was about to link and saw you hadn't yet posted. The fisheye shots ended up being fun. A good change of pace.

[Ukandie!]

@taffy I am going to go with a complimentary yet slightly abstract shot from the same local...will post in the morning!

[Taffy]

@ukandie1 That will be fun!

[Sylvia Binch]

I am normally not a fan of fisheye shots, but this works really well. Great pov and reflections !

[Richard Brown]

Great POV and composition I like the lines on the sky scrapers leading the eye to th very top :) fav

[gloria jones]

Super shot, framing, leading lines

[Ron]

Great use of the fisheye!

[Marnie]

I've gotta get one of those lenses. This is a fantastic shot, the unusual perspective concentrates my eye on the architectural variations. I love it.

[Lynda McG]

The fish eye works well with the tall skyscrapers

[Inga Johansson]

Great fisheye shot.

[Pam Knowler]

Fabulous fisheye! Such fun! What a lovely sky too! Sounds like a great tour with so many photo opportunities! Jealous! Lol! Fav!

[Issi Bannerman]

What a fabulous effect with the fisheye! Super capture.

[Dianne]

A terrific viewpoint. @julzmaioro will like this - perhaps we should try it with wide angle lenses in the big smoke of Auckland?

[Beryl Lloyd]

Super shot , and framing !

[Cathrine Mitchell]

Nice colour and POV. FAV

[Casablanca]

Oh wow, that's fabulous! I really must see if I can ask Santa for a fish eye lens, what a great view of the world.

Wow..

[Joanna kate]

Such a striking image, fav

[Suzanne]

Fabulous effect

[Helen Jane]

this is one that makes me go wow as soon as I see it, but then continue to enjoy it more as I study it. Those two tall buildings appear to be talking to each other, and there is a whole splendid audience beyond.

[Elyse Klemchuk]

I like this very much!

[Lois]

Fantastic!

[Kathie]

Great feeling of height. And you snuck in the flag.

[Nicole Campbell]

A very impressive capture of your city

[Richard Hickey]

Incredible picture.

[Jane Pittenger]

The fish eye makes this brilliant

[Jane Pittenger]

It keeps me looking and looking and I totally agree with Helen Janes comment

[Louise & Ken]

This is wonderful! I so would love to have one of those lenses, but there's nothing here to "look up at"!

[Catherine Otley]

I love it! The reflections, the converging lines and the pocket of smaller, older buildings.

[Masquerade]

The fish-eye really brings this out. Great shot.

[Islandgirl]

Wow awesome pov!

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Awesome shot

[Judith Johnson]

So cool

[Elizabeth]

For some reason, this reminded me of a view of earth from space!
I agree with Dominica --Fabulous "logo" for Chicago!

[Vesna]

Sky is so far..
