Downtown Chicago from Northerly Island

voyageraero · Apr 7, 2017

Got this really pretty shot of downtown Chicago after work yesterday. Hiked out to Northerly Island past the planetarium, after waiting for the TFR surrounding the White Sox/Tigers game to lift (Sox won 11-2). I love how the American flag in the bottom left pops out. Let me know what you think and/or how I could edit it to look better! Chicago video coming soon.

Little chop on the water it looks like. Do you run into much in the way of interference warnings?

Yeah lots of interference near the city as expected. video feed is extremely glitchy.

Good photo, but if you don't mind a suggestion, I would brighten the main subject (buildings) in a photo editing program by using curves. Pull up the shadow values a little so that the buildings really "pop up."

Excellent suggestion! I knew it needed something but couldn't quite figure it out. Much appreciated.
