 Cityscape 01

The Rose Quarter

ISO 400

1/400 sec

f/5.6

I love grey and I think that really shows through in this photo and project. I really didn't like this photo before I brought it into Lightroom.

Juxtaposition 09

f/14

I think the juxtaposition of these two is so epic. They look like they're old friends. Very different in nature but both standing still, keeping watch over the city, side by side.

I love how the water and the pole would be boring and colourless but the sky and the bridge make it very vibrant and alive.

 Urban 04

SW Naito Pkwy and SW Salmon St

ISO 400

1/250 sec

f/4.5

I love the symmetry of the streets and the fountain. I practiced my editing skills to only keep the red car saturated which I think adds an interesting effect.

I thought this older couple was kinda cute so took a picture. I did a lot of brushing to get only the people saturated as well as brushing on the sky.

I love the composition of this photo. I think the framing is strong asa well as the minimal saturation.

I thought this building's colours and lines were really elegant and classy yet simple which is cool.

I really liked how blurry this photo is for some reason. I think it really captures the speed and rush of the city.

This is one of the photos I'm most proud of! I love the gloomy and dry feeling. Like it's so crisp you can hear the leaves crunching.

SW Taylor St and SW 4th Ave

1/25 sec

f/10

I love how the streetlight and the skycraper juxtapose and compliment each other. I also used perspective to make the lamp post appear as tall as the building.
