Hey guys and gals... I was up early this morning and it's been nice all week in Seattle. I shot this in RAW and did quite a bit of PP to get the foreground (buildings brighter) and to get the sky bluer.

I know this isn't the most exciting shot, but hey... I love my city!

Any comments or suggestions? I don't have an ND filter or CS2 or CS3, so I can't mess around with HDR.

Funny! My wife and I drove through Seattle just this morning, saw Mt. Ranier so lit with the rising sun and were lamenting that we couldn't pull off of I-5 to shoot it. I'm glad someone got the shot! Looks very nice!


I tend to ramble. Feel free to put me on ignore.

Thanks for the comments... As for the mountains, you'll only see them when there's no clouds and on a mostly sunny day. Unfortunately, that's only like 3 months of the year. However, it really doesn't rain that much here. Cities like NY, Atlanta, DC, get more annual rainfall than Seattle does. :)

When it rains here, it's usually a really list rain and you often won't even need an umbrella.
