I got the idea for this video from a recent article in The New York Times, "36 hours in Chicago". By FRED A. BERNSTEIN, Published: September 22, 2010. He suggested riding in the front of the first car so this is what I did. I think it gives an idea of what it is like to ride this Chicago icon. It is also a great way to get an overview of Chicago. Most of this video is on the Brown Line, the most romantic line according to the Chicago REDEYE. I shot it with a Canon HF11 in Sport Mode with attached DM-100 microphone.

  • Thanks for this video. I am about to visit Chicago, and I had a question....What is it like to ride the trains? I am afraid of heights, and these seem very scary to me. Is it scary?

  • @SaltyTestes I don't think it is scary. I love trains and this is one of my favorites. I went to Chicago from San Francisco on the train.

  • nyc and chicago best cities ever..

  • @whitestoneguy1989 I agree. I was born in NYC and have always enjoyed visiting Chicago. In fact I will do so again in about a week. Now I live near San Francisco, also a great city.

  • Another reason why I like this video is you aren't jumping all over the place. The scenes are steady and smooth. Didn't get dizzy at all. :0)

    Again, great job!!! Love it!

  • @desireeandkenny Thanks again. I make an effort to make shots steady even when, like here, I can't use a tripod. I use a table top tripod as a shoulder steady. GOOGLE "roblewis56 + shoulder stabilizer" for a description.
