needle and wheel

needle and wheel by Chris Blakeley.
Wandering around the Seattle Center on a foggy night with my tripod. And oddly enough, I was the only photographer there. Weird.

Hey, ChrisB, can you upload this (or give me permission to) to the Wikipedia? It would be a great addition to the new gallery, I think.

My fav of the two you posted. I really like how the ferris wheel has color to it, not just a silhouette. Great shot.

Chris, someone on the Wikipedia got confused by the licensing on the picture and deleted it. Can you re-upload it? Sorry I didn't catch it in time.

Sweet shot man, although I wish the compo allowed the needle to take up more of the upper right of the frame. I wish the ferris wheel was not touching the upper part of the needle. The fog adds a nice touch...

What everyone else said.

I shot almost the exact same picture during the day, but it totally lacks the intensity you got from the lights and fog. Great way to give a touristy subject a twist!
