Fireworks (sort of) and more from Seattle Happy New YEAR!!

Happy New Year to All!!

 

I went down to Lake Union to photograph the scene, and hopefully the Space Needle Fireworks Show. But the fog rolled in at 11;30, so I drove to near the Space Needle for the fireworks, but the fog was too thick to see the top. And there were cars and people everywhere, so I couldn't find a good viewing location. I managed one barely recognizable image. Maybe next year. However, I think the overall scene images are pretty good. You can see a few of the best here...

some were shot using the Canon 5D Mark III's in camera HDR feature, which takes three images at varying light levels and combines them for the best shot with enhanced dark areas and no blown out highlights. A couple others are multiple exposures, also done in camera, and my first successful ones. This a new option with digital SLR's. I like it. Comments and critiques welcomed!!

I like the second shot. I think the fog helps give the photo a different feel. I'm a sucker for cityscape night photos anyway.
