Beautiful December

...you eventually get used to the idea that it is going to be dark and grey all winter when you live in the North West. I woke up this morning and it seemed like the sky was an odd colour - it was going to be blue! An outstanding day for infrared photos. I currently have a friend's 16-35 2.8 so it seemed like a good time to try it out agains my go-to 17mm Tilt Shift. ....Well I got some great shots with it, and really liked it, but wow do you get used to having sharp corners when you shoot with primes.

Here is my favourite photo of the day shot in Gas Works Park Seattle.

You can find lots more Seattle infrareds on my website.

Pioneer Square Seattle

..I'd heard of Pioneer Square... I Didn't know it had anything to do with this beautiful Cast Iron Pergola on 1st. Built in 1909 as a shelter for travellers waiting for a street car for the World's Fair, it's a reminder for me of how things used to be done-let's get back to doing things right.

I shot this on my newly converted Infrared Canon 5d with a tilt-shift 17mm Lens. I kind of wish I hadn't corrected optically so hard as the distortion on some of the metal work in the bottom corners is getting very heavy; that said, I shot it that way to catch the scope of the structure while keeping the way the sun was streaming through the glass as accurate to what I was seeing.

It was a beautiful fall day.

The record breaking cold snap in Seattle, left amazing photo ops when then sun came out. Leaves still left on trees and snow on the ground.
