The main subject of the slinky isn’t too interesting, but all the colors, man…

Photo 238: Chicago Skyline

Jason and I bought a Groupon on a few months back for Chicago Photo Safaris and after looking at the offerings decided to do one of the night time safaris to hone our night shooting skills. We stopped at 5 places in the downtown area over 4 hours.  This shot was taken from near the Adler Planetarium, which is a fantastic place to get a skyline shot.

I learned some good stuff from Jessica, our tour leader, and took advantage of the locations.  I’ll put up a flickr album with the best shots later, but I wanted to get today’s photo of the day up. (I’m exhausted due to the late night. Boo, I’m old!) I’ll definitely sign up for another trip with them next summer.

Photo 237: Will you be my date for life?

Self shot with tripod on our 10th Anniversary. Here’s what we looked like 11 years ago in our engagement photo that we tried to recreate for today’s shot:

(I can’t smile worth a crap in 2000 or in 2011.)
