Michigan Avenue bridge

This is from one RAW file that I edited in Lightroom. I chose one of my darker exposures to bring out the color in the buildings and especially the sky. Come check out a guest post by Luis dos Santos about shooting some of Chicago's best architecture. http://outofchicago.com/guest-post-by-luis-dos-santos-chicagos-architecture-from-an-out-of-towner/

New Year’s Photography Resolutions Day 4: Have Fun http://wp.me/p1Yeel-1wx

I think everyone got this shot on Saturday. The surprising thing was how different everyone's shots looked. Even on the back of the cameras. I saw people that had yellow green skie. The only difference was the white balance. Today, I've started a series on color. The first article shows you how drastic changing the white balance can be to your image. You can read the article at http://outofchicago.com/mastering-color-series-part-i-white-balance-the-most-powerful-color-tool/

Out Of Chicago Blog | Google+ | Facebook | Twitter | 500px | Tumblr This may be my favorite shot from our walk Saturday night. The sky was boring without a cloud in the sky. But when I was taking my HDR brackets I realized that the sky looked fantastic when underexposed by a couple of stops. This image is a combination of the HDR image and the 2 stop under bracket. I painted the HDR image in for the buildings and left the single image alone for the ice and sky. Pretty much everything that I learned to do in Photoshop for this shot, I learned from Tony Reynes. I have asked Tony to contribute to the site as our resident Photoshop expert. Meet Tony at www.outofchicago.com/introducing-tony-reynes.
