Took a little stroll through Chicago's downtown on Thursday night. Glad I brought my camera and tripod

Oh, and for anyone interested, this was shot with my Sony a7iv, Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 lens, aperture f/7.1, 3.2 second exposure on a tripod. The relatively long exposure is what gives the water jets that soft, smooth look

Right by the lake is also, IMHO, the best angle from which to view Chicago's impressive skyline. I miss it all the time.

By the Adler Planetarium? Love that spot
