After a couple of weeks overseas, it’s always nice to get out and explore your backyard again. It’s been ages since I did this walk.

Another day of activities while here in Chicago. First up, the Willis Tower, with cloudy but amazing views of the city, and then over to see the ‘bean’, or officially known as the Cloud Gate. Then a walk over to Navy Pier to join a cruise out on Lake Michigan to view the city…

It was a gloomy, wet but warm morning when I went for a photo walk. I didn’t get far from my hotel before the rain got worse. I managed to get a few cool shots that hopefully reflect the moody Sunday morning.

These self-portraits were pretty fun to do. Experimenting with the position of the light, and playing with aperaure and exposure was interesting.

Took the opportunity to produce a few mock-ups of some commercial photos. The setup was created using a light box and a separate flash.
