Seattle with Clouds from the Ferry

Seattle with Clouds from the Ferry

This photo was taken from the ferry to Seattle from Bainbridge Island. I used my Pentax 645N film camera and Kodak Portra 400 color print film. Yes, I’m still shooting on film some … although most of my photography is digital. I was pretty amazed with the cloud pattern. It was even better in real life.

View of Seattle

View of Seattle from Mt Walker

You can drive to the summit of Mt Walker (4 miles of gravel road after leaving the highway a few mile south of Quilcene WA). The view is different by the minute as the weather changes … in this case the clouds added to the drama. The brownish area in the foreground is the Bangor Naval Base … the water areas are both Puget Sound.

The Backside of Buildings

The Backside of Buildings

This is downtown Seattle near the ferry terminal. The buildings are all facing 1st Avenue … I liked the fire escapes. This was taken with a Holga (a cheap plastic film camera) and Portra 400. The single element plastic lens (like the old Kodak Brownies) does okay in the middle of the image, but gets a little blurry as you go to the edges.
