I was looking at some old color slides and ran across some photographs I took in Seattle in June of 1987. I plan on sharing a few starting with this one taken from the Space Needle of Puget Sound. I was shooting directly into the glare of the setting sun which silhouetted the ships and boats. The wakes made an interesting pattern on the water surface which is what caught my eye. Interesting to note that this is a scan of a Kodachrome slide that was not converted to black & white, this is exactly the color in the slide. It is monochromatic because of the severe sun glare alone. The only processing I did to the image after scanning was sharpening and dust removal.
