HDR Cityscapes from Chicago

[Murtasma]

I thought this door was pretty cool just practicing using distortion from the ultra wide angle lens to give a sense of depth and scale. I really like the gold that was used on the door, reminds me of something from jack and the bean stalk.


I believe this is Trump tower which is currently being worked on. I really love the blue windows in this building. There is a good amount of chromatic aberrations in this image. Buildings tend to push CA in lens because there are lots of areas with sharp contrast changes pair this up with straight lines and it's easy to see it.


Just experimenting with keeping a subject in the foreground and background using a ultra wide angle lens.


This last image is not an HDR really liked how the bird is soaring over the people in the cross walks. I like the dramatic sky and overall erie feeling of the image.

Great photos! I am in awe by them I love the second photo, the building and sky looks great together!

Love the perspective on these photographs Murtasma. Grear reflections too. I agree with the bird in the last one. Great timing and all of them are excellent. Great work.

Really like these, especially the third one.
What focal length was it?

There aren't many HDRs that I like, but these are lovely!

3rd image was at 10mm so 16mm equivalent in 35mm.

Great images and tastefully done. I like the different perspectives. As much as Chicago has been photographed, there are still unique views captured by individuals like yourself. Well done!

You are just amazing at shots like this. lol, our tallest building is probably about a 1/4 of those.

Love these. Wish I'd had more time to look around Chicago when I visited, it looks like a great city. Sadly, just having 24 hours and it being my music Mecca, I didn't get outdoors much.
