- thanks guys for not moving during my three exposures...
- Didn't you hear me screaming, "Everyone stand still! I'm doing HDR!"???
- 3 exposures? why not just auto bracket, works faster. - phlezk

The Neo Monoliths of Chicago
Chicago's Millennium Park is a great place for photography. There are several cool things there, and one of them is this giant video wall. It has this strange glass brick-like covering and shows unusual images of people softly smiling at you. It reminds me a bit of big brother, as if there is a tiny camera behind there that the government is using to ensure that your park activity is appropriate.
I waited quite a while for some people to stand in front of the thing so I could capture a sense of scale. Then, by luck, a man and his young son walked up to it, which gave the perfect look. Furthermore, it was lucky that this part of the video loop was on the screen, since it was one of my favorites and probably mimicked the reaction of the guy standing there watching it.

Lots of folks photo this very cool place, but I think this the first I have seen in HDR, and it makes it look super cool, like a sci-fi set. I can imagine the big face telling everyone there instructions for the the next day, or warning of not complying with what ever is power will be fatal. Back down to earth now, I really like that water comes out of the mouths of these images in the summer time for people to play in. Great shot.
