Seattle in Motion at Sunset
Highest position in Explore = #1 on June 15, 2009, thank you all for the wonderful support!
This shot of the Seattle skyline was taken from Beacon Hill where you can get a really great perspective of the setting sun behind the city this time of year. The weather in Seattle has been wonderful lately. Though the skyline view from Kerry Park is the most preferred "postcard" shot of the city due to the views of the Space Needle and Mt. Rainier, I personally like this view more because it really shows the city in motion. The serpentine flow of traffic in motion reflects the pulse of the city, as if it were living and breathing. The Puget Sound is the city’s important shipping waterway and is shadowed by the Olympic Mountain Range to the West. I could not believe how lucky I was on the night I chose to go on this shoot, I’ve never seen a sunset quite like this one. Hope you all enjoy!
I combined 9 bracketed exposures to really bring out all the color in the sky and in the lights of the city. A few of the exposures toward the end of the set were very long to really capture the lights from the traffic flow. Then standard post processing for levels, curves, and contrast to make it pop.

Geez man, this is intense. How do you snap off 9 shots without getting a ton of ghosting? Does your camera autobracket that many?

Incredible HDR! Great processing on this! You really lucked out with that sunset!

Beautiful piece of photo work.....my compliments.
moog55 (48 months ago | reply)
this is really awesome, jason. those pastel colors are insane. from the incredible colors of the sunset to the colors of the building and lights, you captured them perfectly. i like where you shot your picture more than where mine was shot. you get a much better view of the curvy freeway. i'll have to try that location sometime. i think this is clearly your best photo. nice job!

It's never easy to include something extra in a beautiful landscape. Often this is limited to portray the place without catching something else. In this case, however, you was able to report to us that we see your picture something more. Here are the emotions, strong feelings, perhaps similar to those you've tried being in a place so charming. This is a beautiful landscape, a real experience. I greatly admire this work.
