Seattle Skylines II

coscorrosa

This is a followup to my first ever Landscape forum post lo those many months ago.

Anyway, here's round two, various Seattle shots taken since that first post.

#1 West Seattle (taken at dawn a few days ago):



#2: West Seattle Silhouette (taken 30 minutes after #1)



#3: South Seattle (taken from an office window at work):



#4: Space needle base from Seattle Center (this was the first time out with my 15mm fisheye lens)



#5: Dawn at Kerry Park (looking south over downtown)



#6: Same location as above, this was the first time in a month that there was a clear view of Mt. Rainier from the city, there was also a good view of the moon too.



#7: Kerry Park panorama (I forget how many photos this was, at least 8 vertical frames)

Warning: If you visit in August or September you might never leave!

I'll put together a list of some good spots around Seattle as several people have been asking me, if you actually do make it to Seattle, let me know and I'll give you a pointer to it (assuming it exists by then).

Thanks, all of the above photos were shot with a Canon 1D MIII, the lenses were, in ascending order of focal length, 15mm fisheye (space needle base), 24-105mm (everything but the silhouette), and 100-400mm (the silhouette).

This is a fantastic series! I'm always amazed by your shots in the PNW. I can't wait to go back there someday.

First shot is really nice with leading lines formed by those poles.
The last two are great as well.

Thanks Bryan, we are spoiled up here, but I didn't really know it until I started taking photos

I know where you work! That's my neighborhood.
These are great!
I shoot from the bridge sometimes but never seem to have my tripod with me.

Here's a shot from the bridge I took last year:



I like the perspective from the Pacific Medical Building better.

And, not to be pedantic, but you only know where I'm employed, not where I work, whether I work or not is a subject of much debate between myself and my manager, coming into work at 10:30 AM because I was out shooting at Mt. Rainier at dawn isn't helping my cause much I'm afraid
