A visit to Chicago in 2023 and close to the 4th of July, we took the evening tourist boat out and had no expectation that I would have a view of the city or be able to get any shots.
In the end we chose the right side of the boat to sit and had a great view of the city as the nightly firework display went of..
Sony A7IV Tamron 28-75 f2.8 38mm 1/100 f4 ISO 800 - However this is a stack of 5 continuous images as there was no way to keep the boat stable for a proper long exposure shot.
