downtown

Here is another round from the box 'o old posts!

These were taken on a mild winter evening when I wandered around downtown Seattle with my two bff's... dma & my 50 mm ;) I knew that it would be dark, and I am super clumsy with my tripod around crowds (well, super clumsy in general actually... sigh.), so I packed just the 50mm. Oh how I love f1.8; I like the look, plus it saves the day in challenging light conditions.

My first pic of the day was this old wall in Pioneer Square. I love the washed out writing and the staircase.

We walked around for-ev-er. It was nice! One of the things that I miss the most about being in DC is just randomly walking around all the time. Well, I should clarify... I miss being able to wander and see some pretty interesting sights. You can wander in Bothell for ever, but it ain't so cool. One of our stops was at the newspaper stand at Pike Place. I liked these intenational newspapers, so I took a bunch of frames. These are my favorites...





As much as I liked the nice, clean look of these newspapers, I wanted to practice some editing effects. This is what I came up with:



And, to wrap things up, here are some random street scenes that caught my eye. Enjoy!





Thank you for taking a looksie at this round of pics. Hope the upcoming weekend treats you well
