BASEBALL

Having changed my blog slightly I am now trying new style blog posts. I have seen similar blogs display imagery in this way and it looks so much better than how I have been displaying. I think it has more of a storyboard feeling to it and makes the story come alive with the various close-up and long shots.

I have split the images into two sections but have applied the same levels and colour balance to each to make them similar in style. I would love to hear any feedback on this new style! 

Pike Place Markt

Looking through the archives I came across this shot. After a bit of enhancing I thought it looked a lot better than the original!

Pike Place Market is a busy market that is famous for selling (and throwing!) its fish. It is situated by the doc and all of the fish is fresh that day.
On the floor of the market the tiles are all named and sponsored by people, but as you can see it was so busy that we couldn't see the floor to find the one my aunt had sponsored.

Mount Ranier

This time last year I was in sunny Seattle and looking back through my images I came across this one. It was taken up Mount Ranier when the mist was thick and the the atmosphere was humid.
I went up the Mountain with my uncle and we had a blast eating blueberry pie at a log cabin and discovering streams like this during the trip.

Fancy Shrimp

Pike Place Market in Seattle had to be one of the busiest markets I have ever been to. The flying fish and noise was fantastic and although I couldn't take any home with me to England I got lots of shots of the 'Fancy' fish on sale.
This time last year I was getting ready to visit family in Seattle and looking back through my archive I found some great shots from the day we visited the market. It was a photographers delight as so much was on offer and even the signage gave me some amusement!
These 'Fancy Jumbo Grilling Scampis' were one of the main attraction of this particular stall and they looked fab. I managed to get to the front of the crowd and get this shot. It did come out more of a stock image but something worth noting in the archive I am building up on here.

Drink The Night Away

I have been looking through some images to take to an event with me and came across this shot from when I was in Seattle. I really like the way long exposures draw out the vibrant colours and detail you don't normally see. I think the image captures the busy atmosphere at the bar that evening.

Let me know what you think of this photo.

The Space Needle - Seattle

Here is another shot that I took in Seattle. Although it wasn't as big as Blackpool Tower the view from the top was amazing..this view from the bottom was also quite interesting.

Seattle at Night

Night time photography has always been something I have enjoyed. Light-trails and movement in a still image always looks exciting and changing white balance's usually means some fantastic colour's too.
I took this image when I was in Seattle in the rush hour traffic.
