Skyline on a Cloudy Day by taffy

Skyline on a Cloudy Day

Junko and I coordinated meeting at the zoo for Zoo Lights, but given the bus schedules, I ended up there early with a little time on my hands. I was hoping for a sunset scene over the city but it was a gray and cloudy day.
Thanks so much for sending my amaryllis photo to the top of TT -- very much appreciated!
Nice capture

@lesip The Z6 was a great choice for me. It's terrific in low-light, has wonderful stabilization too. I've become spoiled as well with being able to see the actual lighting through the viewfinder, rather than having to go complete by the histogram. Just wish Nikon or other would make more Z-mount lenses since by the time I add the adaptor to my F-mount lenses, I lose the advantage of the lighter weight.

I so much enjoy your architectural shots and the graphic style. The sky, the buildings and the water all turned out beautifully in this shot.

Awesome black and white! Love the sky too.

Extraordinary detail and perfect processing!

The stark contrast of the black and white matches your gray and cloudy day so well. As always your cityscapes are excellent!

Great cityscape !

Insta-fav! Amazing shot and detail.

@jgpittenger Not HDR, just a single shot. Processed for b&w using Silver Efex and the details I think were just in LR using sharpening and masking.
January 5th, 2020  
Marvellous detail and depth Taffy.

The Chicago skyline is always well worth a photo! Like the bw edit!
