This photo is fairly old…maybe four or five years old. I don’t remember what year I traveled to Seattle. I could look it up, but I’m lazy as well. This photo has been processed and sitting on my hard drive waiting for it’s turn to see the world. I just forgot about it until this morning. I sat at this spot for about 4 hours taking pictures from early evening, through sunset and afterward into the blue hour. As you can see, it was a beautiful evening.

Why can’t every city have a cool library like this? Seattle has it going on when it comes to library building design! This ultra-contemporary glass and metal structure is awesome inside and out. If your ever in the Emerald City, make this one of your stops. It’s worth checking out.

I took this photo a few years ago and it’s been sitting on my hard drive waiting to be processed. I finished it recently and decided to make it a black and white photo. I loved the city of Seattle…. It was such a great city and I’m ready to return.

Can you think of a more iconic item for Seattle? I can’t. So tonight’s post is of the Space Needle. I took this in late 2014 while on a work trip to Seattle. It was a great trip both professionally and personally. By the way, can you tell that I’ve been processing photos from this Seattle trip? It probably wasn’t to hard to figure out since I’ve posted a few photos recently the Emerald City.

I took this photo a few years ago, but just processed it tonight. Sometimes it takes me a long time to get my photos processed. When it takes between 20 minutes to an hour to process one photo, you can see why it takes me a while.
Anyway, I scouted this location in advance and it didn’t let me down. I left the airport, got my rental car and drove right to this spot. It was worth it.

Here is a 25-exposure panorama of Seattle At Dawn. I went to this spot the night before and took some pictures after dark. I liked it so much, I returned the very next morning before sunrise to get this picture.

I got so many great photos while I was in Seattle. More importantly, I had some wonderful experiences. The only negative was that my time was limited.
At the end of my first day (after dark), I went to Harbor Avenue in West Seattle to get some photos of the city skyline across Puget Sound. If I had all the time I wanted, I would have visited this site at sunset, but I couldn’t be everywhere at the same time. So I had to prioritize my locations and make some choices. That meant I got to West Seattle after sunset and the next day at sunrise. Maybe next time, I’ll get there at sunset. Anyway, this is a great spot to view the entire city skyline and just relax on a park bench or put your toes in the sand.
This panorama is made from 25 different exposures blended together. As you can probably guess, it took some time to process. But I think the effort was worth it. What do you think?

I finally got out to Seattle. What an outstanding city. It has been a little cold, but honestly, I got great weather for November (sunny, clear sky). It could have rained or snowed on me. I also have the best wife in the world. She is okay with me adding a few days on trips like this to capture some images (I am here for work). And I took advantage of every moment. I was up before sunrise every day and I didn’t get back to my hotel room until well after sunset. I may never come back to Seattle again, so I wanted to maximize the opportunity.
Today’s photo was taken from within the Dog Park on Beacon Hill just south of Seattle. The freeway in the center of the photo is the US 5, which I think makes for a nice foreground with the vehicle light trails.
Have a great Monday.
