Bellevue Nightscape – A Lonely Bellevue Corner

中文

I walk through this street everyday when I was taking buses to work.  I have never been here at night, until now.  I have to say, the feeling is totally different.  Well, maybe that’s because I am usually sleep walking when I get here in the morning.  I am fully awake at this point, late at night, what a contrary, lol :)

 I love light trails, however there were so few traffic at this hour, I have to wait for so long between passing by car, then scramble to press the shutter.  Since I forgot to bring my shutter release, I have to use the timer function.  Even with a only 5 seconds delay, I found I miss-time a lot of the pass by traffic.

 I love black and white nigh scene, gave a totally different feeling to the night scene.  It was so calm and serene that night, at some point I actually feel alone, and a bit . . . scare!  Good thing Bellevue is usually a very safe place, so I have nothing to worry about.

 This is my more successful one in terms of chasing light trails at this corner.

This is just a bit up the hill from where I was shooting.  Notice the election promo boards by the road?   I know a lot of photogs would have edited those out in Photoshop, not me, I think they are part of the scene, not that I am promoting those candidates, I don’t even know who they are, I am pretty ignorant when it comes to politics.
