pauledell Posted November 1, 2011 Share #1 Posted November 1, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Walking along Lake Michigan in Grant park with the Chicago Yacht Club in the background, Shared by a flock of geese and a couple lounging. Taken with my M6 and 35mm Summicron v4 using Fuji Velvia. This was the first image made with the 35mm lens. I bought this lens about an hour before.

roguewave Posted November 1, 2011 Share #4 Posted November 1, 2011 Paul, congrats on your new lens. The Chicago YC is a fine place & it looks like summer in this image. What a contrast with the snow we had on Saturday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted November 1, 2011 Share #5 Posted November 1, 2011 Nice illustration of the disparity in the distribution of wealth we keep hearing about--the apparently homeless guy in the forground, the lakeshore condos towering in the background and the small yachts just offshore.

vdb Posted November 1, 2011 Share #6 Posted November 1, 2011 Paul, I suspect this image was taken several, maybe many years ago? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauledell Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share #7 Posted November 1, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Ben, Brent and Virgil, Thanks for your responses. Virgil-- You caught me:o. Yes, when I wrote the narrative, I failed to say the year I bought the 35mm Summicron. I believe it was in 1997 when I went to Central Camera on Wabash Ave. I walked from there to Grant Park and had a thrilling day. Ben-- Thanks anyhow. This has been a terrific lens (my favorite). In truth, I haven't been to downtown Chicago for several years. I must consider going back there some day. Brent-- While the couple lounging in the picture were probably just hanging out on a warm sunny day, you certainly have made a astute observation. There are many folks downtown that have very little while the high rise condos and yachts are there. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
