I thought I'd share a not-quite-the-whole-roll this time. It was a rainy day and I was in the heavily shadowed areas around Pike Place Market much of the time, so I shot this HP5 at 1600, fully expecting the grainy results. Of course there are ways to mitigate the grain, but I didn't have them...

I suppose the Space Needle and Mt. Rainier are two of the most iconic landmarks in Seattle, WA. Out of several shots I took of the needle, these are the ones I favored from my trip.

Well, it's May 1st, so Seattle gets to go through "Anarchists breaking shit" day. Basically 300-400 cops get a bunch of overtime for babysitting would be revolutionaries. It starts out as a peaceful march through the city and always (ALWAYS!) ends with these folks doing some petty mayhem and...

Sigma DP2 Quattro. Harbor Island near West Seattle, WA. 15s, ISO200, F/8. The export has a lot more noise than the original. Need to work out how to handle noise with the Quattro. Very little post, even though it looks very painterly. The Quattro long-exposure is fickle as hell. Sometimes you...

RX10 mkii in Seattle, WA

When I'm lazy, I go down to the beach a few miles from my house. It is endlessly photogenic. All with RX10 mkii. 1) 2) 3) 4) 5)

A friend of mine needed some publicity shots for her new book, so I grabbed the GX7 and the Oly 25/45/75 lenses and headed into downtown Seattle on what could easily be described as the crappiest day of weather I've seen in years. Cold, rainy, windy. Ugh. Anyway, we shot a bit in the massive...

I was out yesterday and saw a huge line of Seagulls sitting on the roof of the boathouse down on the beach. There wasn't really a way to get a particularly symmetrical shot, so I did the best I could. Sony RX10 mkii 1) 2) 3)

Jack Block Park, West Seattle. Sony RX-10 mkii

I started editing photos on my iPad, I ended up processing a little more than I usually do. I actually liked it this time but I could see falling into the trap of doing this on every picture. Also, the RX10 may be the greatest all-around camera I've ever used. In engineering marvel! created by...
