The Bean sculpture is always there, but the light show was a one time event back in 2012 for two weeks.

I wanted to give this Superb Composition as well...the sculpture reflects all the lights in the city as well as the light show...gives it an unreal quality I haven't seen before...

Location
Millennium Park Chicago, IL.Time
6:30 PM on an early February evening.Lighting
The projections kept changing so I had to wait for the one I wanted. I liked the colors and pattern of this one best.Equipment
Nikon D700 with Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8.Inspiration
The "Bean" is a popular sculpture in Millennium Park. I really enjoy shooting it at night. Local artists Luftwerk lit the Bean with one of their installations for two weeks. I was part of a group invited to photograph it on the preview night.Editing
A little bit to bring out the saturation, and I enhanced the stars from the light reflections.In my camera bag
Nikon full frame DSLR, Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8, Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8, Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8, Nikon 16mm f/2.8 fisheye.Feedback
A tripod is a must. Also shoot as low as possible to get a different perspective. This is a long exposure shot but not very long. 1 - 2 seconds at ISO-640 and f/11 will get you a nice shot with everything in focus.
