 This is my first shoot in RAW and I saw the difference immediately when I opened the file in Photoshop as compared to pictures I shot in JPEG. I'll need more practice, but I'll definitely be shooting in RAW for challenges from now on.

I had tried taking a shot of Frank Gehry's BP Bridge (next to the Jay Pritzker shell, see my ealier challenge "Gehry on the Half-Shell), but I couldn't fit enough of it in without adding a bunch of clutter in the backgroup, though I did get some nice and interesting shots of the bridge.

I went back and reshot this bridge so I could shoot at a faster shutter speed to get rid of the lines of light in the water and show the train, but none of my "real time" pictures captured the movement quite like this one.

are the skyscrapers leaning or is it just me? I like the train as a blur though

There are a couple of streaks of light in the water (the diagonal ones) that spoil the lines a bit, I feel.

I really like the idea of this one. Just enough color to keep it from feeling so flat & gray. The train isn't as obvious as I'd hope for. Maybe a shorter exposure? Or ask the engineer to slow down.
