Chicago Weekend - Saturday Photo Shoots
Below are images from Saturday June 28th which was our second day in Chicago. This morning we visited Millennium Park which features the famous Bean sculpture or Cloud Gate, the Crown Fountain which projects faces via 10’s of thousands of LED’s interacting with the fountains.
We also visited Grant park where the Chicago women’s triathlon was being held. This made for some great photography. We then continued back though some of the city streets for more urban photography and visited Chicago’s oldest camera shop.
This evening we dinned on Chicago Deep Dish pizza then visited the Hancock Observation Deck at the top of the John Hancock Tower. We arrived in time to get a few shots prior to sunset then more as the evening approached. We finished the evening by returning to Millennium Park for some night photography of the bean and fountain.
Below are a selection of images from our Saturday in Chicago, tomorrow we will post images from of final day of our Chicago Weekend, enjoy the pics.
