These pics were taken Tuesday evening. The venue: Gasworks Park in Seattle. I've had it on my list of places to photograph for awhile.
Polite Running Guy
I was trying to get a shot of the, uh, gas works using a set of benches in the foreground, but luck was on my side: a runner stopped for a little stretch & moment of contemplation. I converted this to black & white using the infrared option.
Sunset
It was a beautiful (although CHILLY!!!) night, and the sunset was beautiful. It didn't actually look like the picture below; I totally messed around with photoshop settings to get this look.
Longing
... longing for a longer focal length, that is! I stood at the very edge of the park, zoomed out to 55mm and just *wished* for longer focal length. I am torn... a new 50mm or a new 18-someting else?
Moon at Twilight
Twilight is my absolute favorite time of day to shoot. I love the flexibility; you can underexpose for darkness, overexpose for an early sunset look, or get a beautiful, captivating blue. I don't usually get a look at Seattle from this vantage point; if you asked me, I would have probably guessed it was another city.
Cool Trees
More fun in the twilight hour. I loved the branches, and the city playing peek-a-boo in the distance.
Thanks for checking out my pics! And thanks, too, to my dear friend del for accompanying me on a whim :)

you have a little dust on your sensor.
ummm yep. sad, huh? I should have checked my gear before I headed out... I hadn't used my poor camera in weeks!
great work and I'm glad you were shown how to fix those little imperfections. It's nice to have that skill :)
