Chicago is more than the city of big shoulders; it’s a city of great
architecture. Capturing its distinct and eclectic skyline is a
challenging pleasure for any shooter. Here are some top places to make
knockout pictures of the Windy City.   

1. The Adler Planetarium on Museum Campus. Jutting out into Michigan, the Museum Campus offers a panoramic view back towards the city. The Adler Planetarium sits at the end of the peninsula and the steps on the side of the structure give you an unfettered view of the expanse of the entire skyline. It’s a morning to early afternoon shot, and it’s great again at twilight (right after sunset). Many cameras, even point and shoots, allow you to stitch several pictures together for a panorama, so try shooting several overlapping sections of the view and stitching it together to form a stunning panoramic. You can also do this after fact in Photoshop or any image manipulation program that offers panoramic stitching.
