Four Chicago high-rises, showing the perils of photographing tall buildings without a proper lens in a high density city centre: losing the bottom part, losing the top part, giving up on straight verticals, and objects entering your frame. Also, I made them a little more awkward than they actually were by cropping them to taste.
