Seattle's Pike Place Market

greenpea

For every photography class that is offered in Seattle, they almost always have the Pike Place Market as an assignment. Last Saturday I went with my current photography class to the Pike Place Market, a place I have been hundreds of times before. As something different, my buddy suggested a slow shutter speead as something different (but tripods are not allowed). I tried using a walls and poles as a "tripod". Here's what I got (any c&c would be much appreciated, thanks).

I like it! Next time I am down there I will have to try something like that out!

Hey Rhuarc! I wish I had thought of this for photo that contest we were in.

Andrew - really cool! I think the longish exposures are perfect for the marketplace that is always so busy with people milling about. I love markets like this and I'm glad you brought them over to show us.

Thanks! I did have a solid pole that I used to brace both the camera body and lens (it actually felt more stable than my tripod ).
