During graduation weekend my dad, uncle, and I decided to go out and shoot some photographs at night. Chicago really is a beautiful place to photograph at night. Below I have a few pictures that turned out really well.
For this first picture, I am right next to the lake looking back at Lake Shore Drive by Monroe Dr. I used a 6 second exposure in order to catch the glow of the lights.
This next picture I took is at the same location, only I am looking at the shoreline at my dad and uncle. Again, I used a 10 second exposure to create the ghost-like images of them walking around.
For the last picture, I took a skyline shot of Chicago from the Adler Planetarium. It is agreed by most that this is the best place to take a picture of Chicago’s Skyline.

Fantastic landscape photography. Gee it’s a beautiful city!

Thanks to both of you for your comments, it is much appreciated :)
All three photos were taken with a Canon 350D(Rebel XT) and the 16-35 f/2.8L Canon Lens. I just used a tripod and the cameras 10 second timer so I could compose the shot then step back from the camera to avoid shake.
