Reach for the sky


3.2s @ f11, 200mm ISO100

Well, you can't go to Seattle without taking a photo of the Needle. My good friend Sean took me to a locals only location to snag this shot. Unfortunately there was some smog which softened the view a bit. However, they still came out nice.

I have really been enjoying adding a bit of vignetting to my photos lately. I like how the effect draws your eye toward the center of the subject. It's kind of ironic however that I would pay thousands of dollars for lenses that don't vignette a photo, only to go back in later and add it.
What do you think of Lens Vignetting?

Nice pic!

I like the vignetting in this photo. I think it makes for a smooth transition from the black background of the web page.

My only other comment on this photo is that the Copyright looks a little large, which I know is a Lightroom issue. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I also like how you posted your geocaching stats on your blog. I might have to steal that idea from you. Then again, my stats are a bit higher than yours...

Wow, that's a really cool picture. It makes me want to see Seattle--even more than I already do. :)

I don't know what vignetting is--maybe adding the ring of black around the edge of the picture? I like it for this picture. I think it suits it well. :)

Where are they coming from?
