Behind The Lens

Location

Montrose harbour, Chicago, IL

Time

Mid-day after a Blizzard

Lighting

Wanted to take the picture at mid-day because the magnificent gloomy lighting after the snow storm

Equipment

I used my Olympus camera without flash in a slow speed to capture the steam in the water with the faded city background

Inspiration

The beauty of my city, Chicago, after a blizzard. Inspired by the solitude of the image

Editing

No, wanted to keep the landscape as a I captured through my eyes.

In my camera bag

I never leave my Olympus camera behing for a quick shoot. I used normally a wide angle lense.

Feedback

First always carry your camera if you live in a state where the weather changes go fast. You can take the image twice and it can look in a very different place. I preferred to shoot in fall and winter great colors and textures.
