Photography Tips: 3 EPIC Chicago Locations Plus a Bonus Spot!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 гру 2018
- In this video I explore Chicago, Illinois looking for some epic photography locations. I start out by visiting a parking garage in River North. This location has an amazing view of the Chicago rail tracks.
I then head down south across the river to another parking garage that has an awesome perspective of the city. The building has a reflective surface on the outside of the parking garage walls which makes for a very unique shot.
The last spot I head to is the rooftop of the LondonHouse, a Hilton hotel, which is directly across from Trump Tower. This rooftop has an amazing view of the riverwalk and neighboring buildings. It is a bucket list location in Chicago that I would highly recommend.
Be sure to watch the last part of the video for my bonus secret location!

Hey man I love the color schematics of your b roll and stills. As somebody who is new to the game I have to ask, is that camera settings or post production?
Thank you Jacob! Yes, primarily use lightroom, premiere and davinci resolve for post production. I think the video is mostly rec709 but the photos I used custom edit settings. Thank you for watching!
@@KevinJonesCreates Thanks for the tips! keep up the good work man
that Anjunabeats beanie tho!!!!!!!
Anjuna fammmmm
Great video, I enjoyed watching this photo adventure. Great locations. Did you had to pay to go to the roof of the London house or Do you need to ask permission to take some pictures on the roof?
Anyhow, Thanks for sharing this locations with all of us the we love take pictures.
No I snuck in shhh ;)

What a fantastic vid!Are you feel interested in testing our microphone?:) That is a kind of microphones which is suitable to filming.
Thanks so much for the kind comments and for watching. Send me an email with the details!
@@KevinJonesCreates Thanks a lot!I will contact you soon! :)
What was the name of the last spot? I didn’t hear it clearly bro but nice shots!
Edwin Chuya thanks so much! The locations are in my description. I went to LondonHouse and the Rookery! Thanks for commenting and watching!
I would be terrified to peep my camera over the window
I was totally scared. haha Thanks for watching and commenting!
I’m sorry one more thing. What time did you go to the LondonHouse Rooftop?
It was about 9am if I remember correctly
How crazy is the traffic on Chicago! I’m going next week and I’m not sure if is better rent a car or get Uber or something similar
Its not too bad, sorry for the late reply, how was your trip? Thanks for watching and commenting!
Kevin Jones hahaha don’t worry I visit most of the places and I took really nice photos ( that’s what people said ) 🤣 the last place with the bonus location was closed so we couldn’t get anything form that place but it was a nice experience in general. Thank you.
@@nes.torfernandez Awesome! SO glad to hear.
How did you get up into the LondonHouse rooftop? Did they not tell you anything when going in?
Hey! Thanks for watching and commenting. I just went right up and walked out, no problems at all. I think they only close it for private events in the summer. I’d recommend you check it out!
No Problem! Thank you for your response. I’ll try to check it out this weekend.
@@luisguzman4968 How did it go this weekend
yah I am curious too!
Where this cover photo take for this video?
I call it out at the end of the video! thanks for watching.
Not sure how they let you up the Rookery stairs that high. We had to pay for the tour and only was allowed up to the 3rd floor. Sucks.
You went at the last location when it was normally closed? It's normally open from 10-11am. You did not meet security gard?
Nope! I snuck in the back and bypassed the security guard. :X not on purpose of course.
Can’t quite understand what garage the first photo was taken
It’s a garage on the Embarcadero... it’s directly under the bay bridge. ;) don’t go telling everybody. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Did you have to pay for a tour for the rookery?
I snuck in the back shhhh ;)
Lol how did you get in it’s blocked off and you need key card to use elevator
Zerak I took those beautiful stairs ;) I was sweating towards the top. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
very disapointed you gave out the names and addresses of these places, to many people have been going to these places, best places are places people dont know or find themselves. ive been to all these spots for years and i can tell you they are all very popular now and some spots have graffitti on them now
Sorry SharpStudios, it’s my thought that knowledge is a gift. Why be stingy and not share with the world? There’s millions of different angles and locations in this world to shoot, these are but a few places that will help spark creativity and the hunger to discover more! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Another note, I highly doubt anyone who watches my video is into graffiti! That does suck but I don't think my viewers would do such things!
SharpStudios0 why wouldn’t he give the names. The video is built upon taking photos at them locations.and some people might want to do the same
