Shenanigans View


By Kimmy J.
I was at CI Shenanigans along the Tacoma water front for a Cheer Banquet and I thought that it would be a perfect place to take some panoramic shots. I took this one and then realized it was the wrong way but I’m glad I did because I really like how it turned out. It was a miracle how sunny it was outside for Washington’s weather and I like how it kind of has a tropical feel to it!

This is a great photo. I like the angle from which you took the picture so that the coast kind of curves around to the right and fades out. I like how you used one third of the shot for the sky and the rest for the coast and water. I think the photo might look better if you upped the contrast a bit, at least on the sky, but that's just my thought. Good job!

This is a really great photo. It looks like a beach in California or something, I would never have expected it to be Washington! But it is beautiful!! The depth of field in the photo is great. With the mountains fading away as the photo goes deeper, shows how vast the water front is and how deep the photo is. The rule of thirds could also work on this photo. The color is great. Overall, really great job!!

This is very pretty! I agree that the way you captured it turned out nicely. My suggestion would be to run a levels adjustment because it looks like the dark areas are too dark and the light areas are washed out a little. I really like how the water automatically draws the eye from the left of the picture to the right. Great picture!

What I like about this photo is how it over looks the sound and how it shows some of the activity on the shore. The element of composition that is used in this photo would be the rule of thirds. I find the lighting to be good for the sound but it is kind of dark for the shore. This mood reflects a relaxing afternoon on the waterfront of Tacoma.

I like how the land slowly disappears in the background.The depth of field is really good. The background gets blurry and then disappears.It has a relaxed mood. It reminds me of just hanging out on the dock overlooking the sound.
