After finding a place to park, we walked over to the Willis Tower (formerly known as the Sears Tower) and took the elevator to the top. The Willis Tower Skydeck gives you a complete 360-degree overview of Chicago. You can step out onto a glass ledge and take photos that make it look like you&#8217;re floating above the city, and there&#8217;s also a gift shop where you can buy Willis Tower souvenirs. It was my very first time visiting this building, so naturally I was very excited to take some cool photos of Chicago from above. There was also an unexpected bonus: by the time my friend and I made it to the Skydeck, the sun was beginning to set. A bright golden light shone through the windows, leading to a beautiful pink and orange sunset (one of the photos has already been featured as the cover photo for my <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/photograffy\/2019\/03\/17\/smartphone-photography\/\">guide to smartphone photography<\/a>). This post won&#8217;t have any specific photography tips and will just show some of the photos I took on the Skydeck that day (and the camera settings that were used).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"imgur-embed-pub\" lang=\"en\" data-id=\"a\/SbdiKvO\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/imgur.com\/a\/SbdiKvO\">View post on imgur.com<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/s.imgur.com\/min\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Shutter Speed: 1\/250<br \/>\nF-stop: 5.6<br \/>\nISO: 800<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"imgur-embed-pub\" lang=\"en\" data-id=\"a\/HXRs9xk\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/imgur.com\/a\/HXRs9xk\">View post on imgur.com<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/s.imgur.com\/min\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Shutter Speed: 1\/320<br \/>\nF-stop: 5.6<br \/>\nISO: 3200<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"imgur-embed-pub\" lang=\"en\" data-id=\"a\/jiiY9hl\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/imgur.com\/a\/jiiY9hl\">View post on imgur.com<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/s.imgur.com\/min\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Shutter Speed: 1\/100<br \/>\nF-stop: 5.6<br \/>\nISO: 200<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"imgur-embed-pub\" lang=\"en\" data-id=\"a\/0I90xFA\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/imgur.com\/a\/0I90xFA\">View post on imgur.com<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/s.imgur.com\/min\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Shutter Speed: 1\/640<br \/>\nF-stop: 5.6<br \/>\nISO: 3200<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"imgur-embed-pub\" lang=\"en\" data-id=\"a\/zfqT0oO\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/imgur.com\/a\/zfqT0oO\">View post on imgur.com<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/s.imgur.com\/min\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Shutter Speed: 1\/400<br \/>\nF-stop: 5.6<br \/>\nISO: 3200<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two and a half months ago, I took a spontaneous afternoon drive down to Chicago with a friend.
