This is a follow up post from yesterday. The images in this post include more of a graphic element, not necessarily conventional shots of Seattle. I also include color and black & white images together.

Seattle (Post 1 of 4)
This past fall I had the opportunity to do a couple of workshops for Glazer’s Camera and Amazon in Seattle, Washington on behalf of Olympus. I had not been there in 20+ years. I must say, I was more than impressed. The people were friendly, the weather was great and the environment, in general, was fantastic. I extended my stay by a couple of days and was glad I did. I’m looking forward to going back. I am going to break the Seattle posts into four (General, Graphic, Chihuly & EMP). This first post will be general overviews and landscapes.

A Very Cold Day at Trexler Park
Yesterday was an extremely cold and snowy day in the Lehigh Valley. I decided I would take the Olympus TG-3 out for a hike in Trexler Park. The camera held up very well. That’s more than I can say for my fingers. I’m ready for spring!

Philly at Night
Tuesday evening, a couple of Olympus shooters (Mike Boening & Victoria Diaz) invited me to join them for another Philly shoot. However, in comparison to the shoot a few weeks ago, this one took place well after sunset. Of course we picked a time where the temperatures approached the teens again. Not withstanding the temperature, we had a great time and got some fun shots. My images were taken with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 and in most cases I used “Live Composite” or “Live View” modes. You will notice in the one image looking down the river, there were helicopters circling behind the Cira Center. This was a 20+ minute exposure and made for some interesting light effects.
I was in Las Vegas the better part of this week for a business conference. Of course I took my gear with me. I wanted to try a different point of view and decided I would try for higher ground. The following images were shot from the Eiffel Tower and the High Roller (the world’s tallest observation wheel). All were handheld and shot with the Olympus OM-D E-M1.

Philly at Sunset
Last week after the shoot at Eastern State Penitentiary, we decided we would try to capture the sunset and some associated imagery. Mother nature was very cooperative, with the exception of the below freezing temperatures.

Eastern State Penitentiary 2015
I haven’t been to ESP in several years. So when a couple friends (Christian Baki & Joe DeFloio) asked me to join them on Saturday, I hesitated. Thinking to myself “been there – done that”. Thankfully I changed my way of thinking and had a Great time. It was fun seeing ESP with a renewed vision. If you haven’t been there in a while – Do It! You won’t regret it…

Whimsical Light
Sunday evening was the first night in a while that the temperatures did not drop into the single digits. So, I thought I would take advantage of the “warmer” evening and play with some light using the Pixel Stick. The images were taken in the Bethlehem Moravian Historic area and shot using Olympus’s new “Live Composite” mode.

Happy New Year 2015
During the evening’s festivities, I snuck outside for my first images of 2015. Fortunately Mother Nature cooperated with a beautiful sky. Wishing everyone a Happy & Healthy New Year.

Playing With Light
As my final post for 2014, I thought it would be appropriate to show some bright, colorful and festive images. Over the last couple of months I have been experimenting with Olympus’s new “Live Composite” mode. I have been extremely impressed. Enjoy and Happy New Year to all of you!
