Don't forget to look up, a perspective that is often missed, some times getting the camera down low and taking a shot looking up will give you new and interesting images.

I saw some folks taking pictures of these sculptures that I have never seen before and noticed a similar composition to one I had done with the Space Needle and the Pergola.

The Pergola at the Seattle Center, a great place to shoot, new much brighter lighting was installed over the last year some time, making for better contrast at this iconic Seattle location.

Strange though, I don't see a lot of people shoot here, the center has lots of options, but I seem to be drawn here, its great at sunset but dusk is the best time to shoot here, light from the setting sun lingers while the Pergola is light up by its own lighting.

This time I wanted to incorporate the space needle and not shoot as wide as the last time, I didn't get the clouds but the new lighting helped out with the contrast.
