              My fave is the one of two men chatting in the train. Look forward to your next post.

              The journey is the objective.

                    Thanks to all of you for the kind feedback. Glad you like those shots!!
                    Chicago was really special. I don’t think I’ve been to another city where there were so many „picture worthy“ situations at every corner and at any time. This city is full of character, personalities, heterogeneity..

                    Also, did you know (I didn’t, before I visited the Chicago History Museum:

                    The first ever skyscraper was built in Chicago (Home Insurance Center in 1885, it had a whopping 10 floors and people where afraid of the height).

                    The first ever birth control pill „Enovid“ was introduced to market by Chicago based G. D. Searle and Company in 1955.

                    In December 1942, the first ever self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction was observed by a group of scientists led by Italian physicist Enrico Fermi in „Chicago Pile-1“. It basically was the proof that an atomic bomb was actually possible. I don’t have to tell you what happened three years later to the country where our favorite jeans come from.

                    Im no history nerd by any means, but visiting at least 1 museum is a must for me, whenever I’m visiting a new city. 😃

                    Use it or lose it.

                      Was out at Yosemite last week,and this is probably the closest I’ll ever get to an Ansel Adams type shot.

                          Thank you so much. Full disclosure. I was at the park mid day and the light was so harsh that the only thing I could do to salvage the image was do it in B&W.

                            Nice recovery!  Tripod, wide angle, long exposure?  What setup did you use?

                              I’m pretty far away.So I used a 100-400 zoom lens,ISO 2500 f13 at 1/800 sec. -1 stop exposure compensation and a polarizing filter. Hand held.

                                        It totally lives up to the hype. This was definitely a bucket list trip for me.

                                            Thank you,If I ever go again I definitely would stay in the park,because every day just as we were leaving the light was starting to get good. The roads to and from the park are pretty twisty and I wouldn’t want to be driving them in the dark.
