John Hancock Center, Chicago, 2012
We are in the middle of a rainy and gray Sunday. Time to read, watch some photography lessons, or work on images. I pulled this photo from my photo library this morning. This shot of the John Hancock Center in Chicago was made already during summer 2012. The Nikon D300S and the still well trusted Zeiss Distagon T* 2/35 ZF with manual focus was the equipment of choice at that time. The intend with the original photo was always a black & white version but at the end it looked kinda flat. Probably one reason I never showed this image here in the blog. Today I tried a new approach and gave the photo some kind of fine art look. I just learned this technique over at kelbyone.com in their latest course. I always liked architectural photography and have a deep admiration for the masters of this genre. Maybe it’s time to do more of it myself…
