Fisherman's Terminal In Seattle
Jun 5, 2020 14:19:26 #
When folks ask me where in Seattle to go for photo opportunities I always mention Fisherman's Terminal located within the Interbay Neighborhood of Seattle (near the Ballard Locks - another place worth seeing). These five shots will hopefully give you some idea why. Taken at sunset a couple days ago. It was cloudy but the sun peaked through just before it completely set. You can still freely wander around the entire terminal. There aren't any "no trespassing" signs and folks who live and/or work on the boats are very friendly. Shots taken with a Nikon D810 and a Tamron 24x70mm, f/2.8 lens. Let me know your thoughts. I read all the comments and answer all questions to the best of my ability.

Plan to spend a day walking the docks, plus many good eateries. The place I consider bestest and mostest of a time in all of Washington.
Well in addition to Hood Canal, Anacortes and Whidby Island (See the great photo school on Whidby by Ferry ride from Seattle.)

Thank you all for the kind remarks. I appreciate them.
Very dramatic lighting and PP work. It almost has a HDR "look" to them. What did you do in PP to enhance the photos? They look like they could be on a calendar!

Thank you very much Brent. For me anyway, shots at sunset take more PP work than most others I take. They were shot in RAW and primarily processed with Adobe Camera RAW (ACR). I used the brush to increase the dehaze, increased the shadows, and decreased the highlights to the cloudy sky and brushed in increased light (upped the exposure and whites) for the fishing boats and the water. So, in effect, I processed the cloudy sky separately from the boats and the water. I did some touch up work in Photoshop (added some saturation and cropped), but not much. Hope this makes sense. Thanks again for the kind comment.
