This is a winter sunrise that I took from my apartment window. It just begged to be taken. I also took a picture of the sun coming out of the lake, but since the sun was too bright, the background didn't look too goo. Anyway, I think this picture of the sunrise turned out very well. I used the landscape setting, no flash (since I would get reflection from the glass window), and ISO 400 speed film.

This is a much improved shot of Chicago skyline at night from the Shedd Aquarium. In the picture are Sarah and I. It almost looked like a painted backdrop. Compared with the previous skyline shot, this one shows more contrast between darkness and light. Less exposed.
