The Great Wheel

The new ferris wheel on the Seattle waterfront

 

When we drove to Seattle on New Years Eve to shoot the Space Needle fireworks we actually got to West Seattle quite a bit early, I simply wasn’t sure what traffic or parking would be like.  This gave me the opportunity to do a little skyline shooting long before the display started.  This image, of the new Great Wheel in Seattle, is one of the shots I made.  I have some ideas of how I want to shoot The Great Wheel more at night, and this was really just a shot of opportunity, but I am pleased with the contrast of the blue wheel and the buildings in the background.  I hope you enjoy it also.
