Today’s featured photo of the day! The feature is: Architecture – Vintage Architecture

Here is today’s featured photos. To let the spring months shine, I am featuring fine photos of great architecture. Part 2 features the beauty of Vintage Architecture, so we can continue to honor the brighter side of life this year. So, here is 2 exquisite sets of photos of the world famous Soldier’s Field, the place familiar with all Chicago Bears football fans! With a before and after twist, the first set is my vintage Black and white shots of the landmark, with the also famous Burnham Harbor taken from the area of the parkway as seen on your way out to the south of the parking area of the Adler Planetarium (now South Linn White Drive) in the good old summertime.

Photo #1 taken with a Nikon EM-through a Nikon 26 mm lens, filter=NONE, Aperture=22 f/stop, shutter-speed 1/125th second, loaded with Kodak Plus-X Black & White 135 Negative Film ISO (ASA) 125 (fine grain) processed with D-76 Processing Chemicals, and a fiber paper print using the Kodak Professional “warm-tone” enlargement paper developed with Kodak Dektol chemicals onto a 3½x5″ matte-gloss print. Date – June – 1981.Photo #2 taken with a Nikon EM-through a Nikon 26 mm lens, filter=NONE, Aperture=16 f/stop, shutter-speed 1/500th second, loaded with Kodak Plus-X Black & White 135 Negative Film ISO (ASA) 125 (fine grain) processed with D-76 Processing Chemicals, and a fiber paper print using the Kodak Professional “warm-tone” enlargement paper developed with Kodak Dektol chemicals onto a 3½x5″ matte-gloss print. Date – June – 1981.

The second set of photos are much newer, color photos of the landmark after the stadium renovation which were taken on a sunny late fall day. What a difference that 35 years makes. You decide which set of photos you like, the vintage set from 1981, or the set from 2016. Feel free to comment. . .

Photos #3 to 6 taken with a Alcatel Pop Astro digital camera through its factory lens– a 5 MP, filter=Not Possible, Aperture=Unpublished=Factory, shutter-speed Unpublished=Factory. Date – November – 2016.

Another fine Architectural photograph to follow very soon: Feature – Part 2: Vintage Architecture!!
