Description

We had our holiday party at the Tribune Tower Crown and they were nice enough to let me come early and photograph from the outside area. Photography was a bit challenging as I had to stand on a chair and balance my tripod on a narrow ledge 26 stories above the ground. It was also cold and windy. What a photographer won't do for a good picture.

Exif: F Number: 11, ExposureTime: 32/10 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 200, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 16.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark III
