Quiet Chicago

A Sunday afternoon in January can be quiet even in downtown Chicago. I explore the Chicago River and the buildings that overlook.

Chicago Fog

I have always loved how fog affects the world we see. It is kind of like putting a filter on the whole world, instead of just the lens of your camera. Only no actual filter can create the layering of shades that fog adds to a scene. Any time a decent fog rolls through Chicagoland, I head for the lake. A little haze or fog transforms the Chicago skyline into a palate of grays and blacks.

Fog is also a challenge to photograph, especially at night. Here are some experiments I did in one of the thickest fogs I've seen.
