Brian Koprowski Photography: Photo Journal

http://briankoprowski.blogspot.com/p/bestplacestoshootabovechicago.html

A brief summary of great places to shoot in Chicago that anyone can get into. Here is a list of the best views from above in Chicago as chosen by me. Most of these views have a cost associated with them, but you should already know that. George Jefferson didn't get to the top without putting in that work and neither will you. This is in no particular order, but I do suggest the Hancock Observatory (now known as #360Chicago) over the Skydeck Observatory. Tips on Shooting Through Glass. 4 Holiday Inn - Chi...

Brian Koprowski Photography: Photo Journal: Look the Other Way, Stupid

http://briankoprowski.blogspot.com/2015/03/look-other-way-stupid.html

Wednesday, March 18, 2015. Look the Other Way, Stupid. Here's an image from Death Valley National Park while standing atop Zabriskie Point. This isn't your typical view from the point because, well, I'm an idiot and had no idea what Zabriskie Point was when I showed up. You live and you learn, and then you try to right your wrongs. Or some shit like that. I'll be prepared next time. Either way, point your camera towards the best light available. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Brian Koprowski Photography: Photo Journal: Filters. Filter this!

http://briankoprowski.blogspot.com/2015/05/filters-filter-this.html

Friday, May 8, 2015. Filters. Filter this! Here's the down low on using and purchasing filters. If you buy any filters at all make sure you invest some money into what you're purchasing. If you're using expensive or quality made lenses you're not going to use cheap filters. That's the equivalent of purchasing a Ferrari and putting on seat covers you purchased from Autozone. You just don't do it. Or you do because you don't give any fucks and don't want mustard on your Ferrari leather.

Brian Koprowski Photography: Photo Journal: The Madhouse on Madison

http://briankoprowski.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-madhouse-on-madison.html

Monday, February 16, 2015. The Madhouse on Madison. Here's an image from a Blackhawks game I attended earlier this year. The Madhouse on Madison never fails to disappoint. I used a quick filter setting in Lightroom and then made some minor adjustments in Photoshop. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 5 Best Views From Above Chicago.

Brian Koprowski Photography: Photo Journal: The Views from Adler

http://briankoprowski.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-views-from-adler.html

Monday, February 23, 2015. The Views from Adler. Very rarely will I find an image that I've processed and end up liking it today. I usually end up re-editing the image and then seeing if I like it after I've re-processed my work. I mean just the other day I published a Mono Lake image from California that I took in 2012. Why? Do you edit and then save the files only to re-edit them later? Here are some images from Adler that I've edited more times than I'd like to tell. Why?

Brian Koprowski Photography: Photo Journal: St. Louis Blues

http://briankoprowski.blogspot.com/2015/05/st-louis-blues.html

Monday, May 25, 2015. I took a road trip down to St. Louis. It's an easy 3-1/2 hours from the southern suburbs of Chicago. It was more of an oasis or pit stop on our way to the middle of Kansas to pick up my sister's new little puppy. Nonetheless, we had a night in St. Louis so I decided to go out and shoot the skyline.

Brian Koprowski Photography: Photo Journal: Rocky Reflections

http://briankoprowski.blogspot.com/2015/05/rocky-reflections.html

Thursday, May 14, 2015. Reading articles online makes me a skeptic. Writing articles online makes me a hypocritical jerk because of my first sentiment. With every article I read I fall victim to skepticism. I'm constantly met with a different version of myself because of it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 5 Best Views From Above Chicago.

http://briankoprowski.blogspot.com/p/tips-on-shooting-through-glass.html

Moody Weather (clouds covering the city). Most public observatories dislike tripods. Shooting Through Tinted Glass is a thing. Dirty Glass at the Skydeck. Be sure to bring a jacket or something to cover your camera between you and the glass. This will reduce window glare. I also suggest you bring a polarizer (filter) to help reduce window glare. I really haven't found the best solution for shooting through window panes, but these tips seem to at least remedy a significant amount of added glare.
