What a photo. Very few captures the Chicago skyline like Cozy. Keep the photos coming, Vista, and NEMA really adds to the greatness of the Chicago skyline.

Wow, wonderful skyline shots Bono. It seems that with a growing skyline like Chicagos, it is hard to find a location that is not impressive. I was driving on the Stevenson Friday afternoon, and where it intersects with the Dan Ryan going south toward Indiana. I saw a skyline view highlighted by Nema and Vista so imposing, I wanted to stop on the freeway there and take a panoramic photo. .Thank God my wife said, I knew you were crazy, but not insane, lol. But my question is, what is the best type of camera to buy for capturing moving shots of the skyline.

This is an extremely loaded question. Paging vexxed. Also Harry, his zoomed in shots are always superb quality.

For shooting while driving I use a Panasonic DMC, a high end point and shoot. To get real nice shots I have one of the kids drive and use a Rebel on sport setting.

Thanks Harry, with the Chicago skyline changing so rapidly, this is a good time for me to make that investment.

Spent about an hour taking pictures of the sidechick before meeting up with the boyfriend on Friday. There’s a bunch more pictures from different angles on my Flickr

I think criticism of the glass might be because more people see it from the north, where the gradient is not as smooth as from the south and looks less reflective at times. From the south the glass is nothing short of stunning.

^^ The last two shots are tremendous. I couldn't think of a better neighbor for Vista than GEMS. Their colors play perfectly together.

How is the gradient different north-south? Aren't the frustums symmetrical?

The last month has really brought out some amazing photos from everyone around here! And it's not even Summer yet when it'll really be beautiful

Great photo! Is it just me though, or is the larger version slightly squished vertically? Either that or the "shrink the buildings" theory from the OCS thread may have some merit after all...
