Description
It's March, and everyone in Chicago is Irish, even the buildings.This was one of the first pictures I ever took with my Bronica.
EDIT: Spent some time re-color correcting this with Matt ( ), bastard always nails it, and came out with much better results.
Also decided to stick with the original crop I had shot it at, even though it's a little off, I think it works very well for the feel of the shot.
Compare with the Epson scan here. [link]

I recently lived in Lakeview...had to go back to MI. I'm definitely planning on coming back!

Very dramatic, love it, (I've always thought that building next to it should be White Castle's headquarters)

This is truly amazing. Seriously. This is by far one of the best shots of the city that I've ever seen--and I've seen many.
Congratulations.

Looks beautiful! I've only been to Chicago during the day. Never at night. I should go there again during the summer. Only about an hour away.
Oh, and, my dad is the only one in the neighborhood who isn't Irish. xD

Interesting image, I find the smoky appearance around the buildings quite fascinating to look at. Great image of Chicago, I like how you have managed to capture this photo from a position where the buildings can be seen as disappearing into the smoke. Good job!

This is an awesome picture of Chicago. Not only host to more mass-casualty disasters throughout time than NYC, but also home to the post-rock scene, and The Satanic Church.
Hey, Chicago. It is what it is.
Kind of looks like Gotham City in this picture.

this is a really nice depiction of chicago. nice exposure time as well. at first i was ercked by the buildings in the bottom of the shot being so dark but then they sort of held the base for the rest of the image. its like a new gradient pattern.

The smoke here gives a very neat effect with the lights

The city is a cool ass place . . . the angle and tilt makes it out of the same old things and look great. The foggy mist is raw , I'm not Irish but, I often am
confused to be one by others.

I love the angle, Sometimes the normal perfect angle just doesnt work and this is a good example where i think this shot looks perfect in its current angle but probley wouldnt work as well perfectly straight. I also love the fog move past the building.

Oh, never mind the Irish buildings; how about that moody fog?! What a surreal image. Fantastic capture...

I love the colors--looks like the top of that one building is launching off for space. haha.

Very good shot. The main buildings in the foreground are super crisp and it mixes well with the fog in the back.
I also like the boarder, it's a small detail but, does make a difference.
