Had the idea to shoot this style of image for about the last month, but I haven't had the right conditions (or had them when I was able to shoot, that is) until today. The morning was crap--grey, dull, foggy, and rainy. But as soon as I left work around noon, the skies opened up and these perfect cumulus clouds were nice and heavy, and the winds up in the air were strong. I went home, grabbed my gear, and headed out to our closest "city," Hartford CT. For those of you that know the area know that there aren't many proper skyscrapers, but this set of buildings did the trick. I don't usually crop square, but I liked the way it looked here.
Note: I setup off-center, like any newb to this style would, and you can see it's impossible to actually and properly straighten this... so I'll have to go back!

Also, to those who shoot in cities, how do you protect yourself? I mean, we roll up with thousands of dollars in gear, in sometimes less than ideal areas, so how do you best protect you and your gear? I mean, nobody seemed to pay much attention to me, but I was paranoid the whole time... haha.
