and guess what happened? My tripod broke! Oh my gosh, I was so let down by it. Luckily, there was a way not to waste the night. includes putting my camera on the railing of a bridge while the strap is hanging around my neck i had to cheek the railing to peek into the viewfinder. At least I had fun. There were other photographers on this bridge and I was thinking that they might thought “what’s this guy doing?”. We met a guy who used a panaromic photo. It’s so cool 120 degrees viewed and multiple lenses and it uses not an ordinary film. We asked him how much it is and he said “It’s made from Russia and it costs about $200.00″ Not bad butI guess the film is expensive.

After that we went ahead to Pike Place market in downtown Seattle, to take the picture of the famous big sign “Public Market Center”, then went on ahead to the Elliot Bay and take the Seattle Alaskan Viaduct.

Our final stop was Alki and we took quite many pictures of Seattle from afar.

From this trip, I found out that tripod is very important, a slight wind can ruin your photo. Also I found out that during a night photo session, please use the AWB (Auto White Balance) and not any other settings.  I used range of shutter speed from 1/8 to 30″. It was amazing and I learned alot from this trip. I hope to go another round with a good tripod this time
