In Tune with the Sunset [Contest Finalists April 2005]
Uploaded: April 28, 2005 06:53:22
ISO 100, f5.6, 1/250 sec, Canon 28-135 IS lens at 135 mm, handheld. Serendipitous shot, not posed. Was walking on the Seattle waterfront looking for good sunset foregrounds and saw this subject. Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains in the background. CONCEPTS - Spirituality, balance, harmony.

Wow, what an amazing capture!!!! #1300005Judy S. Fung April 28, 2005
Wonderful capture, John! #1301323John Tubbs April 28, 2005
Thanks, everybody! This was an interesting study in not being too focused on something specific. I was looking for the normal waterfront stuff - boats, piers, etc. and almost walked past the sunset yoga person without realizing the potential. When it did hit me, it seemed to take forever to get the camera turned on! John #1302029Cora Miller April 29, 2005
Hard to beat a foreground like this! Glad you realized the potential before it was too late! #1302231John Tubbs April 29, 2005
Thanks, Cora! After I finished shooting her I walked to a nearby spot and did some other (much more mundane) shots. A guy who had been watching me shoot (I hadn't seen him) came up to me then and somewhat incredulously said, "I thought for sure she was modeling for you. Did you just stumble onto that?" Yes, I did... :^) #1303248Kerby Pfrangle May 11, 2005

A Fantastic Image!!!!! I love this and many other shots in your galleries! Great collection of work! #1426673John Tubbs June 03, 2005
Thanks much, Bryan! You have a number of great images in your gallery as well. As you saw from my gallery, I'm not as much of a people shooter as you are. I want to work on studio lighting and portraits over the next six months or so to develop that skill set. John #1426872James Reininger June 11, 2005
