Beautiful shot! Really love how you have darken the sky and water to a deeper blue. Really works well here. However, I am wondering why you took this with a wide open aperture? Was it taken hand held? Otherwise, I would like to see more of the forground in focus. Like the boats on the left looks slightly soft.

Someone told me to start using f/22 for night shots to get them sharper and I forgot to change for the shot. Thank you and no worries I am going back, this was a shot to remind me that I was there.

This is a great shot in any case. But when you visit it again, I think even a f/11 or f/13 would be enought. I think for many Nikon camera, diffraction starts to kick if you stop it down any further which may also effect the sharpness.

The boats and reflections look amazing!
One of my best friends might be moving to Seattle for a year to work. I'm going to have to visit him sometime, and you and I will have to go shoot around town.

Yes and no. I can't use it or I don't until I take it in to get the CCD cleaned. There is what looks like a water stain on the CCD.

No worries, I will get it fix soon. Or maybe there is a camera fairy that will bring me a D200. That won't happen, stupid fairies.

If the fairy thing works out for you, have it bring me a D80.

UrbanRural-Photo In reply to cappaholic [2006-12-13 15:32:23 +0000 UTC]
D80? I will tell'em to bring a Hasselblad H3D and then use the D80 as the back up. Shoot high and if you fall short you got what you wanted anyway.

I add some filters on that I need to edit. ND filer top and bottome and grad Blue on the bottom to darken the water. Also I did an adjustment layer in photoshop with a black fill to darking the water and the sky but not on the boats. This way the boats grab and create the leading lines to the walkway behind them.

I love the serene blue of the sea, glass-like texture of the water, and the foggy, yet not gray sky really appeals to me.
I remember when I lived in Seattle, makes me wish that I took pictures back then.

traffic jam.
i think the lights have some halo that could be diminished, though it's not really an issue. and for some reason the left foreground appears a bit fuzzy, though i can't figure out why (other than too much sambuca last night).
love the composition, the eyes following the water like a trail, bordered symmetrically on each side by a different line.

Thank you. I think it time to take that camera in for some cleaning. I have been seeing spot on the images but the fuzzyness is new, now who has the issues. LOL

The lights look a bit harsh, but that was probably unavoidable. I love the colors and the atmosphere. I think cars are just about the ugliest thing in the world, but somehow boats tend to look much better. Everyone should ride a boat instead!

I have been think about getting a boat next year. There are tons of shots i would love to do on the water. Cars are not so bad if they are taking you to the water.
