Here are my photos from last nights event. 5 shots of the skyline, 2 shots of the John Hancock before and after. The last 2 are amazing what a little light can do:

Funny, about 400 people at the planetarium driving around the circle there, burning up gas as they watch the event. There had to be 500 people out shooting, then all the cars driving. Fox, ABC, Telemundo, NBC all with their trucks and lights. All grouped together in one little area, so I set up as far away as I could then bolted for North Beach, where there was only 2 other photographers there. It was much darker on the north side.

Very nicely done BE! You have a great eye and talent. Thanks for sharing.

Very well done, BE.

wow BE, those are great!!

How our buildings at night effect migratory birds and how Chicago is trying to help

Do the lights stay on until dawn? or do they shut off from like 2-6 a.m.??
