Chicago Sunrise

I have no idea why we were awake for sunrise, but we were.  And, I had a tripod and my camera, so I took a few brackets sets of pictures of the sun – obviously just after sunrise and behind a cloud.  I attempted some HDR compilations, but they didn’t work to my satisfaction.  This one is just a raw file prepped and exported.

Note 1:  The horizon is not flat, but because it converges with the shoreline there is an optical illusion going on.  If I ‘fix’ things and make the horizon flat, the entire picture looks crooked.

Note 2:  The structure in the bottom left that’s just barely visible is the structure under which yesterday’s picture was taken.

Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 17-85mm lens @ 33mm, f/10, 1/250 sec shutter, ISO 100
