After editing my photos, I usually save them 1) full size color, 2) full size black and white, and 3) low res in whichever it looks better (color or bw). Usually it’s pretty easy to decided in which mode they look better in, but I struggled with some of these.
Our tour continues…
Before we even got to the hostel, we had to stop and take some photos. Again, this was at a pier right across the street from the hostel.
Can I just say that I’m saving my photos all the same size, but for some reason Wordpress is making the color ones smaller that the BW ones. Anybody know anything on that? Also, the color/contrast is somewhat off from what they look like when I edit them, which I’m sure is related to some very technical Photoshop/format/monitor calibration deal, but doesn’t bother me too much… yet.
Pike Place Market, where they throw the fish (I have an action shot coming on a later post!).
Among the things we found at the market: Rub with Love.
Requisite photo of the very first Starbucks. I hear they organize pilgrimages from all over the world to this location*.
*I may have made that up.
The locks over in Ballard. Or as I call them: Wannabe Panama Canal. 
Relaxing in a cafe in Freemont, where I had the best frozen drink/coffee ever. It was so good, I had to take a picture of it. No joke…
Discovery Park. This is one of those photos that I struggled between BW and Color. The cloudy light was just perfect, I thought.
Now, I don’t know about you guys, but when I think about qualities that I want my hotel to have, ‘fireproof’ definitely jumps to the top of the list… Really? The folks at the Bush Hotel though that was one of their best amenities?
“Ma’am, I’m sorry that we don’t have working toilets, clean towels, room service, insulation, heating, etc., but we ARE fireproof”
And finally (for now), what I think is a very iconic image of Seattle…
…the rain.
There’s still more coming up, so keep checking back, definitely any feedback on the photos in always appreciated!
