It feels like living above the Arctic Circle, especially with the cold snap we have been having.

I think Taks and I are shooting at each other,
He's got a nice BI ferry from West Seattle in his last shot,
This is the sky and Elliot Bay on fire the other night from a BI ferry about to leave Seattle. I'm looking back toward West Seattle.
Rumor was that some of this sky color was generated by the California fire smoke blowing up our way.

A couple of walkers starting up Barn Hill. There was never actually a barn there. In medieval times it was called Barren Hill, and the name has contracted over the centuries because barren sounds like barn in the traditional Devon accent. I can't imagine why they ever thought it looked barren.

I haven't short with a polarizing filter since I don't remember when, but I thought I would try out my recently acquired Rokinon f2 16mm with one (part of a cheap set of 77mm filters & got to try with the lens). Of the two test shots hurriedly tried just before lunch today, this one seemed to turn out best. I cropped it, partly to emphasize the horizon line, but also to take away most of the open blue sky above the cloud bank, which was decidedly blacker on the left side. I wasn't really looking to see in the viewfinder whether the sky deepening effect of the polarizer was even across the sky--I was mainly looking for what setting of the CPL brought out the clouds the most. That is something to definitely watch for the next time, since the risk of not getting an even effect across the field with a UWA is much greater than with a normal lens, what I have mainly used polarizers on in the past. There is a little fine-tuning of the exposure level and highlight brightness, in addition to the crop.

Clouds over the UN building and Manhattan

This picture was taken in 1977 from a sailboat, sailing south on the west side of the East River, north of the UN building in NYC. (Sorry, I couldn't resist!) Taken after the first Around Long Island race with my Spotmatic F and a 55mm/ƒ1.8 lens.

Technically not a good shot, but some interesting skies...
