Fumée

Lauren H.
I took this picture on a bridge by the Pike Place Market. It was really difficult to get the lighting right because the street lights were so orange. I think it turned out ok. I turned the vibrance down and the saturation down.

This is a great photo. It looks like downtown Seattle like in the 20’s.I love how mysteries this photo it.

This picture is absolutely amazing. First, the contrast is cool. The background is dark while the foreground is light, and even the in-between is a mixture of light and dark. The lighting is great, makes it look kind of mysterious. This looks like it could be in a scene of a movie. There are also so many lines that make it an excellent picture, such as the horizontal lines from the bridge and on top of the buildings, vertical lines from the buildings and lines on the street. Even curved lines from the trees and the curved building to the top right by the smoke. Everything is in focus as well! This is really good photo, good job!

Just wow. I love the negative space that the sky makes up and the way it’s just so subtly stained by the smoke. I like the way the lines of the bridge and it’s cover go horizontally and then all of the vertical buildings contrast those lines. I love the way the buildings gradient into the street, it’s a spectacular shot. The perspective, the empty street. You caught an absolutely wonderful moment. This sort of noir or melancholy but beautiful mood is amazingly reflected.

I really like this, I love the smoke! Wow this is awesome, good job! I love the placement of the camera, going right down the street.
The lighting seems perfect to me… The darkness of the tops of the building and the sky, then the bright ground. Love it!
The mood is super mysterious and empty, but great!

First off, I love the view of cities so this picture is delightful to me. It has a great view of everything too and I think its weird how theres nobody on the streets, but great job.

I really love photos that are taken of Seattle. This is one of the better ones that I have seen. I like how its not really orange like most are. I think it was a good choice to desaturate it some. Good job.

The night life I love it! The colors are great! So many different things to look at. The first thing I see is the road and it leads my eye to the rest of the picture. The depth makes the buildings so noticeable.

I like the old time feel of your photo. The fact that it was taken at night just gives it a different vibe. It just looks very calm and peaceful with no cars on the road. The color you chose to make the picture was a good choice.

This picture looks really cool. Night photos are hard to get really good pictures of and you did a very nice job. I also like how you can really see the smoke in the sky.

This picture of Seattle is very unique how the lighting of the streets sticks out. Also, I like how you caught the smoke in the air coming out of the factory.
