No Gizzy - It wasn't doctored. I shot this as a JPEG and the only software I had came with a REALLY cheap HP point and shoot camera.

I think I'll take a close-up picture of a coin being tossed in the air .... to determine the winner of this contest.

TraceyG - Chicago isn't my home town (I'm an Army brat) but it's my all time favorite town. We're at the time of year when I'm sure you're glad to be living south.

I know the weather is the pits, and I haven't lived there for 28yrs, yet I still miss it. I hope you don't mind but I would like to steal your pic and send it to my family. With your permission of course.
It is a GREAT city!

I'm not pushing my luck beyond 2 photos - I'll traumatize myself! :shock:
This was taken on the western shore of Lake Michigan at Fort Sheridan Beach just north of Chicago. About 10 minutes after I took this photo the sky opened up and it poured!
Just looked on the page and it doesn't look as sharp as it actually is. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Mahma,
That's what I thought, too. And the photos supposed to be of your city or neighborhood, right?

I really like this a lot ... evocative ... if you are in the photo, did you use a tripod and timer?

TraceyG (Hometown Girl) Thanks so much and yes, please feel free to send to your family. Since this is my first time posting, I'm not sure if I set things up right. Let me know if I need to do something.

Annabelle, you would have been rolling on the beach laughing if you had seen me trying to do this. I'm too embarassed to tell you how many tries it took!
I had the camera on a tripod and was trying out my new wireless remote. Half the time I couldn't tell if the thing was working. I got a whole lot of pictures of myself checking to see if the bloody light was blinking! I had to go home and take a nap after this excursion!

Gizzy - just remembered. The reason the colors look the way they do is because I had the camera set on the wrong white balance. Go figure!

I've tried that so many times and I have NEVER gotten a decent picture. I am impressed and I don't care if you tried 1000 times ... you kept trying until you succeeded in taking a great picture the hard way! Wonderful picture and great story.
