Thanks for the comments. I was visiting Chicago to see one of my sons graduate from Navy Boot Camp. I got in touch with Slobodan Blagojevic (many of you know him from our LuLa Forums) and we met to shoot sunrise in Chicago together. I love meeting our readers and shooting with them. It's great to see how we approach the same subject and the images that are a result. i do this with Michael quite a bit when we travel. The challenge in a scene that is iconic is trying to see it differently than everyone else. This can be done in a variety of ways, such as exposure, color, contrast and the use of a lens. In this case I challenged myself to shoot a lot of images that morning with a longer lens on my Fuji X-T1. The lens of choice on that day was the 55-200mm. I looked for graphic appeal and then exposed for the highlights so add contrast. It's funny how sore you can get from 45 minutes shooting straight up. In the end we both made some good exposures and I do have more images of more Chicago architecture I'll post in the future.
By the way I am loving the Fuji X-T1 and just got the Graphite version (some nice new firmware features). I'm working on an extended article on my experience shooting the X-T1. Stay tuned for that one.
