Chicago River and Trying out Palnet.io !!!

[intrepidphotos]

This is my first post trying out Palnet.io ! Such a cool concept to have a level playing field; it seems even whaleshares became distorted quickly. Great to see so many exciting things happening with steem at the moment.

It is sunset over the Chicago river in downtown Chicago. Illinois in the United States of America. As for Trump, Love him or hate him, he is impossible to avoid.

If you would like to learn a little bit more about my background in photography you can read the interview @photofeed did with me here

I love cities with lots of bridges over the water. This makes me want to visit Chicago.

What is Palnet.io? Nice shot of the river area. HDR, I assume? You must have been up fairly high in another building, too, judging by the perspective.

Too bad about the "TRUMP," though. Skylines would be so much prettier without names and brands plastered on them.

I'll refrain from ranting about the intrusiveness of branding and advertising in society...

It is a different front end with a new 2nd level rewards system. Lots of posts about it at the moment.

It is weird in Chicago as most of the buildings don't have large names; but trumps does. Its not HDR in the traditional sense but there is some luminosity masking to recover some of the highlights.

Beautiful shot of my home town! Is this a long exposure, multiple shots edited together or just touched up a bit? It’s really stunning!

Thanks mate; its a great place to call home I bet. It is two shots merged using luminosity masking ; so basically I have recovered the blow up highlights in the sky from a darker shot.

Thanks

I missed this post!

This is a great city shot. The colours and light work so well

[intrepidphotos]

Thanks mate; I loved shooting downtown in Chicago. I don't shoot a lot in cities so there is some novelty for me.

[yeaho]

Great colors brings your photo with it. :) Keep up the good work

[intrepidphotos]

Thanks.
