A few blocks from the water, you could start to see the fog rolling in off the water, and by the time I got to the waterfront, visibility was down to a few hundred feet. I must've arrived just as the weather was changing, and the fog started to lift. As the sun started to come out I got this cool shot of a jogger on the Dallas Road Breakwater:

Once the fog was completely gone I got a really great series of landscapes with the grass blowing in the wind and the Olympic Mountains in the (distant) background:

I have to say that since moving from Downtown last year, I do miss coming down to the water as often as I did...
Check out more landscape photos, including other images taken along Dallas Road in my Nature and Landscape Photos gallery.

Great shot of the grass, what lens is that? (exif said 10mm f/4, am I right?)
ReplyDeleteHey Matthew,
ReplyDeleteNice, I'm always impressed when people go the extra mile to dig into how a photo was taken! You're correct, the lens is a Sigma 10-20 f/4, and this was shot @ 10mm. On my D300, that equates to a 15mm or so 35mm equivalent. I believe the actual exposure of this frame was somewhere around 1/10 @ f/16 or so (handheld no less!), but you'll probably find out exactly in the EXIF! I'm not usually a big fan of "off-brand" lenses, but this Sigma packs a nice punch. Substantially cheaper than the Nikon 12-24, I tested both and found the Sigma sharper with less CA.
Cheers, Josh
Great shots! As a runner, I love the views when I do long runs along Dallas Rd - - a welcome distraction when I'm getting tired.
