Chihuly Acid Rain

Ok this is something I never do but I saw this nice looking couple at the Chihuly Garden and Glass exhibit walking around. The young man was taking a photo of the young lady posing under her umbrella. I waited till they finished and asked them both to pose for me. I shot a few sequences and thanked them, telling them to search for "Chihuly Acid Rain" on Flickr. So mystery couple, if you're out there here is your photo. Sorry it took me so long to post it.

Chihuly Glasshouse in the Blue Hour

Kathy and I were so impressed with our initial visit to the Chihuly Garden and Glass exhibit we decided to visit again, this time in the evening. By the time I reached the glasshouse, the blue hour had begun to set in. I walked around taking loads of pictures. At some point I finally looked up and saw the Space Needle's observation deck towering six hundred feet above the Glasshouse and took this shot.

Chihuly Northwest Room

Let's keep going with the Chihuly stuff. This amazing room features Dale Chihuly's collections of indian blankets, baskets and photographs. The glass art displayed here was influenced by these collections. I really like how you get a peek into the sealife room with it's spectacular 20 foot high sealife tower. This image was taken with my 10-18mm lens and is a panorama which explains the fairly severe distortion seen in  the image. At the risk of repeating myself, I am still amazed at the quality and power of my new Sony a6000 mirrorless camera. I have no intention of abandoning my full frame sony cameras but having so much capability in a tiny camera is still mind blowing to me. I like it so much I purchased another one for Kathy and invested in 5 high quality lenses for the e-mount system. 10mm, f4.0, 3200 ISO
