Shot this on a dreary day in the city....

After work rush hour....

Got to catch a few shots of the kids playing in the field before the crowd took over filled the entire area..

Nathanael was great sport and talented artist on this cold rainy night. He has come great leaping skill and his form was perfect for this shot.

Strobist info: Camera right was one 39" deep octa single diffused and tilted as to avoid light spill. Inside it was a Ranger rx as that was triggered by skyport.

I was fortunate enough to be able put together a private shoot with the help of Luftwerk, Collaboration, and the Chicago Office of Tourism and Culture. The weather didn't want to cooperate with us at all, but the amazing team of people worked together and we had a great time. Collaboraction was great and took direction perfectly. I had a small window of time to make some shots and on long exposure images of this nature you really need as much time as you can get. I loved the motion blur we go from the light field by luftwerk and how the colors and shapes took flight from the ground as they moved around. This shot is a single image made by doing a very long exposure followed by an ending flash to freeze the subjects.
