Hi all,
 
 Here's the second part of the pike place market shots from Sunday.  For the camera technical folks in the house,  I shot all of these using a 100mm macro f/2.8,  and usually on the f/2.8 setting.  That is one fun lens.  :)

This weekend I spent a few hours walking around with my friend rossi taking pictures at Pike Place Market.  Here are some of the results.

Hi all,

  On Saturday I took my kite rig out and went and flew at Gasworks Park.  I was able to get much closer to the old structures than the last time I was out,  and have shots of that.  I was trying to get closer,  but the wind wasn't quite in the right direction.










In this image in particular you can see that my camera was fairly low over the gas works.




Finally,  at one point during the day the wind shifted and my kite began to fall out of the sky fairly rapidly.  I grabbed the string and ran,  but my camera hit the ground and tumbled along for a while.  The kite,  camera,  and KAP rig are all fine,  here's an image the camera captured during the tumble.  :)

For a very brief time this evening,  the setting sun illuminated the very tops of the clouds.  This wasn't visible below the dense cloud cover,  but it did create a diffuse light purple light across the sky,  barely noticeable unless you happened to take a picture of it.




The actual effect was more subtle,  I'm surprised my camera recorded this deep of a purple.  It was really more like a lavender.  :)

And some pretty colors.

It's fall,  and the colors of the leaves have been changing.
