Chicago Police Department Memorial at Buckingham Fountain

Here is a slightly different view of Buckingham Fountain from our walk the other night. I moved closer and wanted to compose the shot to include the numbers of the Chicago police officers that were recently lost. If you are downtown and have run out of twilight, one of the better places to go for night shots in the summer is Buckingham Fountain. When the fountain is running, they play a musical light show every hour.

Photo Contest
If you would like to submit one of your photos for the contest from last week's photo walk, you have until midnight tonight (5/11/2012) to email it to me.

The Best Photography Podcasts
What do you listen to in the car on your way to and from work? My favorite thing to do is to catch up on the latest photography podcasts. I have learned as much about photography from listening to these podcasts as any other source. I have listened to pretty much every one that is out there and I've narrowed it down to some of my favorites here. Read the article at www.outofchicago.com.
