All right
So we are in Chicago. We are gonna be spending the next three days here...
It's 2:20 p.m. It's pretty late. I've been lazy today
we had to wake up at 3 in the morning so I was pretty tired and I took a
very long nap, but I'm finally ready to go out and shoot some photos. I don't have big plans for today
just walk along the lake. There is a trail, Lakefront trail, I think
I'm just gonna walk there and see if we can find something.
But! I took two or three
No, just two photos from... here... the view is pretty cool
All right, so I don't know if you can hear me all right, but I'm here taking a long exposure of the
downtown, well kind of, downtown skyline. That's what I'm trying to take, those two trees, the light and those
buildings
Okay, so this is done
That's what I was trying to take
I've been walking around here and I don't know, I took a few shots but I'm not very
convinced or happy with them, I was hoping to find more photos of the lake or towards the lake but
I couldn't find any composition because it's pretty busy
So it's pretty hard to find a simple shot here, but
We'll see
So I came to this beach I think it's Ohio Beach
It's sunset time now, the Sun is setting and it might get colorful so perfect for black-and-white photography
jokes aside though
I just wanted to say that I'm not using the red filter now because I don't want darken the sky
The buildings are dark, so to create contrast in this case you don't want to use something like
It's not a read filter, it's an orange filter, but you don't want to use those kind of filters say if you want some contrast
Otherwise you'll have dark buildings with dark sky. I'm trying to take a photo of
downtown as you can see
It's getting a bit dark, but there is still some light behind those buildings
So I hope to create some a lot of contrast between the sky and the buildings
I don't know if the composition is gonna be the right one though. I tried to include some lights or trees,
but I didn't really see it, so I just went with just downtown and nothing in the foregrround. We'll see if that works
Okay, so this is what I'm trying to do now. It's gonna be a little bit tight because the foreground, that piece of ice
it's too far in the bottom of the frame, but I think it might work, so I'm gonna set up a
long exposure here
We'll see
Normally, I'd finish the video here
but now we are gonna go out for dinner to a special restaurant that I want to show you so let's go
so this is a tapas bar
That is supposed to be more authentic than your regular tapas bar, we'll see, we are here
Okay, so this place so far looks pretty good, so
the thing is that this place has some things that
I have never seen before in a Spanish restaurant here in America. So for those who don't know
I'm from here
So it's pretty surprising to see some of the dishes here that are typical from there that you don't see anywhere else like that one, caldo
I just got that one. Or this one, empanada. Or the octopus. I'm getting all of them.
This is gonna be good it smells pretty good
I'd rate that restaurant with four out of five. It was pretty good. It's the best Spanish restaurant
I've been to in this country, that is for sure. Anyway, I'm feeling a bit sick so it's time to go to bed
I'm planning on waking up for sunrise tomorrow. I'm gonna go to Millennium Park
I didn't get to go there today is where the bean is, the reflecting bean
thingy so
What did I say? Bean
It's alright. I'm tired, I'm gonna go to bed now
