Title: Daytrip to Chicago Post by: Hydrobond on September 16, 2005, 09:44:24 AM The Black Perl and I are going up to Chicago for a few hours this Saturday.
I can't wait for the pizza... mmm... Pics will follow. Title: Re: Daytrip to Chicago Post by: St0rmTK421 on September 16, 2005, 09:46:28 AM Indeed we are.
I'll be sure to take many a picture to post when we return. Title: Re: Daytrip to Chicago Post by: SFS on September 18, 2005, 07:23:40 AM nude pictures?
Title: Re: Daytrip to Chicago Post by: St0rmTK421 on September 19, 2005, 05:18:59 PM Looks like I'll beat hydro to the punch.
No SFS, not nude pictures, unless you consider the buildings nude....they don't have clothes on.

That guy has to be like 8-10 feet tall to have an ass that big. As for Eddies pics: Those are some awesome pics. I especially like the bay and sky shots. Title: Re: Daytrip to Chicago Post by: Hydrobond on September 20, 2005, 11:15:58 AM C-H-I-C-A-G-O

The one with the flags is cool because they got ghosted. Title: Re: Daytrip to Chicago Post by: den68 on September 20, 2005, 12:05:01 PM very nice shots guys!
Title: Re: Daytrip to Chicago Post by: Hydrobond on September 20, 2005, 12:07:03 PM Quote Wow some of those shots are pretty surreal. The one with the flags is cool because they got ghosted. The flags near the Wrigley Building are like that because that is a stitch of 4 seperate photos. It wasn't possible to fit the entire building into one shot from that angle. And yes, Chicago is a very surreal place, especially if it is your first visit. It's amazing how tall some of these buildings are. If you have never been, I highly recommend it. Chicago is actually more impressive than NYC in terms of skyscrapers, many more tall ones in Chicago. Title: Re: Daytrip to Chicago Post by: den68 on September 20, 2005, 12:18:01 PM uh oh!

Nice one Den ! Title: Re: Daytrip to Chicago Post by: Hydrobond on September 20, 2005, 06:54:50 PM Shame on you Eddie. Where is the 360 from Hancock? Post it, damn you!
Title: Re: Daytrip to Chicago Post by: Lord Nepenthean on September 22, 2005, 10:28:46 AM Very cool pictures from both of you. I wish the trip could have been earlier in the summer so I could have gone. It has been a while since I have been to Chicago. Looks much cooler than I remember it being.
Title: Re: Daytrip to Chicago Post by: St0rmTK421 on September 22, 2005, 01:43:55 PM But....it doesn't look as cool when you have to get it under 350kb...see?
Title: Re: Daytrip to Chicago Post by: St0rmTK421 on September 22, 2005, 01:54:31 PM OK, well while I'm at it I'll give this one a shot.
I tried taking some 3-D pictures up there by simply taking almost 2 of the exact same pictures, just a foot or two apart. If you have done the magic eye stuff before, you will know how to look at the picture. Just stare behind the picture until both pictures come together and form a 3d image. I can post more if this one works. Title: Re: Daytrip to Chicago Post by: Hydrobond on September 22, 2005, 02:41:34 PM Quote But....it doesn't look as cool when you have to get it under 350kb...see? But you are an admin, you can upload it to the site and avoid said limit.

I can post more if this one works. Too small to really see anything 3D in it. Plus, when you do a 3D picture the pictures have to be completely level. Title: Re: Daytrip to Chicago Post by: St0rmTK421 on September 22, 2005, 02:51:46 PM They don't have to be level to the ground, just level to each other.  In both pictures the water is a little higher on the left, but both of them are like that so it evens out.
Also since the water changes from picture to picture, it kind of looks a little weird, but there's not much you can do about that. ....And I have successfully killed this thread :) Title: Re: Daytrip to Chicago Post by: Hydrobond on November 03, 2005, 09:08:10 AM Murderer.
