Waiting for Better Weather

A scene close to my home.

Very nice, the only nit I have is that the mountains are competing with the boats for my eye.

OMG, I've got to go get a hot coffee after seeing this. Lovely image, might be a candidate for a B/W??

Thanks, Schmoo. I was driving home one day and saw this scene...not spectacular, but caught my attention nonetheless. I just had to stop and shoot its.

Thanks, Doug! I've tried this in b&w...just doesn't have the same impact as the color version. I think if there was some light on the mts or on the FG, that may have helped with contrast and may have made the difference when converting to b&w.

I love those seemingly rare days in the winter where the clouds are high enough that you can actually see the fresh snow on the mountains.

Thanks for the comment, Danny! I totally agree...some winterdays are amazing in Seattle...they tend to be very clear if the clouds are high enough.

Thanks, Awais! Wide angle scenes are my favorite, but every so often, I find a scene just itching to be shot in the compressed format. I thought this was one of them.

Thanks, Mary! I know what you mean. Can you believe I live 2 minutes from here and I haven't ridden one of these yet? I'll have to correct that soon.

Sometimes we don't take advantage of the things we can do close to home, but venture out further. I know how it is. When you do get out in one of those take many photos. We would love to see them

So true Mary, I need to get into the habit of taking my camera with me where ever I go.

Thanks, Karl! I want to take advantage of the sailing lessons offered here before the summer is completely over.
