Here are some of the better cityscape shots I have taken here in Seattle. I am still in the learning process, but I am becoming happier with more and more of my shots, so that is good. Due to my work schedule, most of my shots are at night... any comments or suggestions are welcome. Thanks!!

Love that last shot. i left my heart at 11,000feet. Did you get any of the Fire Fighter memorial, that was my favorite spot of the town. Great shots....all of them.

#2 and #3 are off the hook!!! Grew up there and your photos make me homesick. Good work!!!

Number 2 is my favorite with the colors reflecting on the water.

These are really really awesome shots. I really miss Seattle... I wish I had taken up photography way earlier on....

[Simply Ravishing]

Thanks =)

Beautiful photographs.

Nice shots. Are you doing any sharpening and color correction? Reason I ask is they look a bit soft and most seem to have some sort of color cast to them.

[doidinho]

Your image editing is on so I did some quick sharpening and color correction on one of your shots. If you like it and have question feel free to PP me.

Some have had more processing done than others. I shoot RAW and then adjust in Adobe Camera RAW, and Photoshop. The HDR's were done in Photomatix.

I agree the shot you edited had a bit of a pink tint to the bridge, thanks for noticing and adjusting it.

[ahhhlawn]

Better glass is def. noticed... great shots.

[Simply Ravishing]

Indeed, I just traded the 17-40 for the Tokina 11-16. Hopefully I the nice weather will hold for the weekend so I can get out and get some shots with it.
