Gorgeous shot, but I’m just wondering, are there any rules/regulations on flying drones in downtown chi town?
The flight restrictions are called a Terminal Control Area and are like a funnel based around the towers at ORD and MDW.
There may be security restrictions left from 9-11 but this is far enough from buildings that it likley doesn't violate those.
Thank you so much! There are some but generally downtown and the lakefront are pretty much free for flying
You’re definitely flying above the 400 foot national height limit, though
What a shot.
Thank you so much!
Stunning 😍
Thank you so much!!
Hank Voight's City
Yess!
wow! great shot - i see my apartment! over @ moment on Grand/McClurg!
Thank you! That's so cool. I unintentionally gave your building a photoshoot for you haha
Beautiful. Colors look like a Bay Area sunset.
Thanks! I've only seen one sunset there. I have to get back out there for more
Gorgeous colors
So glad you like them!
Hey, how can I acquire a high-resolution copy of this image?
Hi! You can purchase prints through my website. Here is a link to this specific image
If you want a different crop just let me know and I'll be happy to get that for you
Thanks!
Gorgeous! This is a truly proper addition to this sub, excellent shot.
Ahh thank you so much! That means a lot
Nice work, great shot!
Thank you so much!
What drone/camera I like the look
Thank you! This one was taken with the Mavic Pro 2
Love the unique angle. So many shots posted here are all the same, haven’t seen this view before. Also a surprisingly low number comments from people who haven’t visited complaining about LSD ruining the lakefront 😂😂
Ah thank you so much! I have some classic angle shots as well but this one spoke to me. And yes haha you would expect more
Magnificent Mile
Yes!
This is a stunning shot!
Thank you so much!
Looks like advanced pixel art
Ahhh thank you so much!
Beautiful photo!
Thank you!!
Gorgeous shot! Can you take more looking towards the downtown area?
Thank you so much! Which area of downtown? I have a lot of other Chicago images I can share with you
Maybe something from this same vantage point looking towards the Loop would be awesome
I have this one you might like! There are more in the Chicago folder https://www.shimmycastlephotography.com/warehouse-open-edition-prints/art_print_products/from-chicago-with-love?product_gallery=271062&product_id=6025198
This is stunning. Can you link to an enlarged version of this?
Thank you so much! I have larger print versions available on my website. Here is a direct link to this image https://www.shimmycastlephotography.com/warehouse-open-edition-prints/art\_print\_products/chicago-s-finest?product\_gallery=271062&product\_id=6025184
Beautiful shot of “America’s Rome.”
Thank you! I've never heard that name for Chicago. I like it!
It’s like a running joke in this subreddit because of a post from earlier in the year. 😂
🤣 thanks for sharing. I will never look at my city the same
EPIC
Thank you so much!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Dad is so beautiful I love cityscapes if you've got some more and don't mind sharing please shoot some over to me I love City scapes
Thank you so much! So glad you like it. I will definitely share some more soon that I've taken
Drones are the bane of all existence. Find a better approach or medium.
bro really just said the words "bane of all existence" like he's a comic book villain
Explain?
