ChiTown Foreshadowing - Round 38 Get pushed Image 2

Really late posting for for Round 38 of the group Get Pushed where photographers are paired and challenge each other to post an image.

I was paired with SafarFiertze and we both agreed with the same challenge taken from the syllabus of one of MIT's photography classes:

"Choose one site. Your choice, inside or outside, urban, rural or wherever. Photograph your site with respect to qualities of light, especially aspects of light that are particular to your site, as well as to time of day, weather,etc. Make comparisons between the images."

The plan was to take the Chicago lakefront at both dawn and sunset. For this shot I went back to the same spot on Navy Pier as image one, waiting for the sunset.. Less than an hous before sunset, the sky darkened and blocked the sun. Thunderstorms had been predicted and here they were coming in. I snapped this and a few minutes later it was pouring.

Oh, well - "The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men oft go astray." Don't we all know that as photographers? Actually, I think this is my best image of Chicago's lakefront.

Interesting how both images have a bluish tinge. Please see its companion in Image # 1.
