Pulling out another shot from my trip to Chicago. This is of an art object called Cloud Gate. It is a giant bean shaped object made from highly polished steel plates. You can’t see the seams at all where the plates meet except for when you go underneath where they left the seams on purpose. It was pretty neat. Brandon has a cool shot of it here. There was a orchestra playing in front of it entertaining what looked like a high brow dinner party.
WONDERFUL REFLCTION. I hope yo be able to take a picture of this bean once. I;ve seen s couple of pictures of this objet that shows a different perspective of it, and this is one that rocks. :)
wow..i really like this effect on imagine..
I love that you have the orchestra in this shot.
John has a shot of this today, also. http://www.exposingmyself.net/
Great perspective of the bean! (the bean = offical name) ;)
What a cool thing… I’ve never seen that, where is it at in Chicago? I’ll have to check it out next time I’m there. I love how the buildings in the reflection and how they curve. Great shot!
Ana: I looked at John’s shot and his is very cool. Check it out here His shot offers a different view of it.
Kim: It’s downtown in Chicago, on Michigan Avenue past the Art Museum. You can’t miss this area, between the bean and the two towers with the faces on it it’s a really neat area.
This is really cool – the bending towers look like their leaning ino to hear the orchestra.
love it jason – such a cool structure. you have captured a great scene here :)
Great reflection shot. Love the bendy skyscrapers.
the reflection is super. i am not so sure on how i feel about the composition. i will be going to chicago this weekend, i will make sure to take a few snap shots of this beautiful sculpture ;)
I love this piece of art. The main thing I love about it is how the entire work is highly reflective and the way it distorts the reflection.
Awesome wide shot! I think I remember reading something about the legality of taking pictures of this art piece a while back. It sure looks like a fun subject though!
Noce shot, excellent reflection
There was a stir awhile back about having to pay to take photos. When I was in Chicago last October it was still free to get up to it. With the rash of bean photos lately I suspect that it still is. Nice shot.
