High Above Chicago

[RbnDave]

Here are some more flying photos. I spent the last four days shuttling people between Milwaukee and Charlotte. The weather was terrible almost the entire time and I was afraid I wasn't going to get any photos to share on the Canon Forum. the bad weather finally started to pull out of the midwest on Tuesday evening and yesterday morning it was as clear as a bell when we flew over Chicago.

This is downtown chicago taken from 35,000 feet.

This is chicago at night from 34,000 feet. this picture is taken looking north. If you look really close you can see the lights of Racine, Kenosha, and Milwaukee further up the lake shore.

Hope someone from Chicago likes these shots.

Thanks guys. Both pics have been photoshopped a lot. Whenever I take a pic from really high up i have to add a ton of USM and contrast to make the photo come close to resembling what the scene actually looked like. Night shots are the hardest to fix. The photo doesn't even come close to recreating the view I had.

Photoshopped or not, those are great shots.
