6. Example of a 3D Anaglyph Images Only Blog for Chicago

Chicago has many places the are very interesting to view, especially in 3D! Let's start here with its Skyline which in the photo below is viewed from the southbound portion of Chicago's Outer Drive heading from the far north side towards downtown.(We took this shot just before dusk and the cars had already begun turning their headlights on so it is a bit dark on the road. View it and all of the rest of our anaglyph format photos by clicking on them twice to get full screen which gives you the best viewing results because the Fujifilm 3D camera that was used to take them produces photos with very good resolution in full screen mode)

This is a unique expressway in Chicago that runs for about 25 miles all along its beautiful Lake Michigan waterfront from the north side of the city well into its south side. This road makes commuting into downtown from either the north or south sides of town a snap at most times. Its traffic even moves pretty well during rush hours unless there's an accident. This is because there is population on only one side of the road so it doesn't get the inundation of traffic that is generated when there is population on both sides of an expressway.

Below is another view of the same area only closer in to downtown Chicago. The lower front building in this shot is the famous Drake Hotel which back in the 50's was one of Chicago's taller buildings.(We took this shot just a couple of minutes later than our first shot and the street lights had already come on so it turned out  dark at street level.)


Below is a view down Michigan avenue, just as you exit the Outer Drive. (This photo was taken just after the first 2 photos above and all of the big buildings in it made the street level too dark.)


Further along this part of Michigan Ave. which is known world-wide as the "Miracle Mile", is the famous multi-story exclusive shopping center - Water tower Place shown in the image below. (This photo was taken shortly after those above but because of the open space in the shot it turned out a bit brighter than they did at street level)



This part of Michigan Avenue is called the "Miracle Mile" because of all of its top quality hotels and restaurants and its ultra exclusive shops strung along it for about a mile. (This photo of the storefront turned out very well at dusk because of its internal lighting)


























The same holds true for this photo below taken at dusk because the store's internal lighting also makes it work.


























Some of the shops on this street are beautifully architected so they stand out in a wonderful way like does this one all along the street.

Northern Michigan Ave. in Chicago is a very classy and utterly reeks of big money so many people in Chicago come down here just to rub elbows with the wealthy people who are shopping on it every day! (This photo is not acceptable to us because even though the open space behind it was lighting it up a bit, there just wasn't quite enough light to really brighten the shot adequately.)


























This is all for this example blog page of 3D photos in only the anaglyph format. On a live blog we would only use the brightest photos we can take so as to offset the red - cyan glasses darkening effect that you have observed here.
