Inside the Bean

Uploaded: June 23, 2011

Description

A self portrait underneath the Cloud Gate sculpture in Chicago. Formally dedicated in 2006, the 3 story steel sculpture, quickly dubbed "The Bean" by locals, reflects and distorts the skyline and visitors, who can walk around and underneath the sculpture. The city briefly tried to require permits to photograph The Bean but was, fortunately, unsuccessful.

Exif: F Number: 9, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/30 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 32.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II

Great capture Peggy. Love the colors. I'd go to Chicago just to try my hand at this image! #1387583

Thanks, Deborah. This was unexpected but there are really lots of photo ops in Chicago. Quite the fun city. #9479877
