We’re back on the third Forgotten Chicago trip along the industrial South Side rivers of Chicago, and this is one of my favorite shots from that trip. The color, texture, detail, and light are all just perfect. Sometimes photographs like this benefit from a conversion to black-and-white to bring out detail, but it’s all there in color and it needs no enhancement.

July 21, 2013. Nikon D7100 (DX sensor), 70–300mm Nikon zoom lens at 185mm (35mm equivalent: 275mm), f/5, 1/8,000, ISO 1,250.
