Cloud Gate “The Bean” series – 4

5 Comments

I’m sure you are getting tired of Cloud Gate shots. This is my last in the series and also my favorite. This was taken with my Leica M9-P and 21mm super elmar. What I like about it is the amount of detail in the buildings (click on picture to see full-size). The 21mm super elmar was built for sharpness from corner to corner and this image is a perfect example of it.

This is another handheld shot of “The Bean” using my Leica M9P and 21mm super elmar.  If you look underneath The Bean, you can see the security guard who eventually asked me to leave.

I didn’t just take pics of the “The Bean” with my Olympus OM-D, I also shot with my Leica M9-P and 21mm super elmar.

This shot is not a HDR and was shot handheld.  The shot is slightly cropped so that I could remove my self from the picture.  I was attempting to get the original sky and the reflected sky to blend.
