I'm Like a Bird.

The weather during my trip to Seattle was beautiful! I was also fortunate enough to have the opportunity to take long exposure shots of the skyline from the boat docks near Alki Beach in West Seattle.  
ISO 100, f/8, shutter 25 seconds

 The white "stick" on the left of the photo is a new giant ferris wheel that was erected on the waterfront. Completion was only a couple of months ago. I didn't get a chance to ride it, but I'm sure it would be pretty cool to try one of these days.
ISO 100, f/8, shutter 10 seconds
For this photo, I stitched together 6 long exposure shots to form this panoramic photograph. On the left is the Space Needle, then downtown Seattle in the middle and the blue arc on the right is CenturyLink Field, home to the Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Sounders.
ISO 100, f/8, shutter 3 seconds
That same afternoon, I also got to attend the Seahawk's season opener against the Dallas Cowboys.  Look at how many people were in attendance! I think the announcer said over 67,000 fans!
ISO 400, f/14, shutter 1/250
Here is a shot of Tony Romo passing the football. He had a rough day...the final score was 27-7 in favor of the Seahawks.
ISO 400, f/8, shutter 1/640
This has got to be my favorite shot of the trip - Robert Turbin catching a pass from Russell Wilson. I've titled this photo "Seahawk in Flight".  LOL!
ISO 400, f/8, shutter 1/640

    Nice shots! The panoramic one is very well done. You can't tell that 6 separate photos were used. sm

    Awesome pano shots, great shoreline shots too. I really like the football action shots too. Great stop action shots. Looks like you had a fun time in Seattle.

      Thanks! Yes, he did! I'm very lucky to have learned all these things about photography in such a short time...in almost 6 months!
