Fishing Boat - Detail #1

Went out to Fisherman's Wharf this morning, Saturday Dec. 6th, 2008. Shot closeups of fishing boats for over three hours. Rather than try and name all of these I am just going to number them.

Trident 08788 - Fisherman's Wharf

The Owl - Fisherman's Wharf

Spent several hours at Fisherman's Wharf on Sunday, Nov. 31, 2008 shooting in the fog. Lots of subject matter, will need to go there again.

Shipping

Airport Way, somewhere south of Spokane Street.

Two Drums - Airport Way

Went down to Georgetown again this afternoon. After an hour or so I took the car up Airport Way toward Spokane Street just to see what was there. Found a condemned factory waiting for demolition. Had only a hour of sun left and this shot was just before the sun disapeared.

Ranier Brewery - Coldstorage Demolition

From my most recent Georgetown shoot, a view of the Old Rainier Brewery from the north west looking at the site where the cold storage building was recently removed due to "safety factors". A man out getting a little fresh air on his Ducatti told me the ground underneath the building was in a state of permafrost having been frozen for decades.

Wheel & Window - Georgetown

Behind the Brewerey

This was taken behind the old Rainier Brewery in Georgetown.

Backyard Project - Georgetown

This was a messy yard, with several projects. I gave these shots a sever Lightroom treatment. It seemed to suit the subject.

Two Pumpkins - Georgetown

Wheelbarrow - Georgetown (again)

Sunday 11/16/08, went back to Georgedown, armed with my e510 + 14-54zd. Another Dark day, needed IS for a day like this. Long exposures.

SouthPark Bridge on the Duwamish

The Corner - Georgetown

Yet another photo from my recent Georgetown shoot. I shot this through the gap in a gate of a chain link fence. Didn't leave many options for framing the photo, other than, zooming, portrait and landscape.

Loading Dock - Georgetown

These were taken during my Georgetown shoot, Sunday Nov. 9, 2008 late in the day. The light was failing and the exposures were long.

Lucky's Manor - Georgetown

Went to Georgetown today to do some afternoon shooting. I was exploring an alley and came upon this place which I have no idea what it might be. I wasn't the least bit inclined to go up those stairs and inquire about the nature of the business.

Still Life with Junk

This was taken in South Park on election day, Nov. 6, 2008.

Last Light at Duwamish Bridge

Election Day, just before sunset I was down in South Park at marina just east of the bridge. The storm had passed and the remaining clouds were dramatic. This isn't something over cooked in LightRoom, this is what it really looked like. I did use LR2.1 to recover the original look. Camera was e500 iso400 14-54mm ZD at 17mm f6.3 1/160th.

Water Tower at Sundown - Duwamish

These were taken on election day, Nov. 4, 2008 just a few minutes before the sun disappeared. I kept moving as the sun went down to get a better angle to shoot from. I was walking along a fence at marina in South Park and trying to get close enough to the river to see this tower which was obscured by some trees. It was a race with the sun to see if I could get up close to water before it disappeared. As I was moving the light kept changing, the result is several looks all taken just one or two minutes apart.

Liliana's Salon

These businesses are on one of the back streets of Burien WA, not to far from the police station, court house and fire department.

Chapel at Ft Lawton

These were taken Sunday Oct. 24, 2008 at Fort Lawton. This chapel has been a subject of interest for a number of years. It hasn't been used as a Chapel in my memory which dates back forty years. Perhaps when my father was here in 1941 to qualify with the 30'06 on the rifle range down the hill from the chapel near the bluffs, perhaps then it was still a chapel.
