9-7-13 "I for Industrial" I took this image at Gasworks Park, Seattle. I could not think of a more industrial type of shot anywhere and am thinking this will be a unique offering for the alphabet challenge. I am really enjoying this challenge and have started a gallery under PAD where I am collecting all of my alphabet shots.

3-4-13 This was taken yesterday earlier in the day than the Blue Hour Image. This was a 284 sec (almost 5 minutes). I converted this to Black and White using Silver Effex 2.
Thanks for all of the feedback on yesterday's image. The small cubicals are fish cleaning stations.GraineryIlene SamowitzParkSeattle20130303IS03390

3-19-13 Bandon Delights --taken in front of an alley shop in Bandon. I like how the mirror caught the reflection of the bicycle.
Thanks for asking my long exposure the number one image. Also thanks for pointing out the banding. I used Silver Effex. Do people think it could be from a control point....I have never seen that.
I took Deb Sandidge's Long Exposure Class in November. The class I am taking is a Master Class online on long exposures given by Marc Koegel out of Vancouver Photo workshops. It is wonderful. We are using Google Plus and today we did a Google hangoutBandonBandon Workshop 2012Ilene SamowitzOregon Coast20120920IS00015

9-8-13 A Treasure Shop on Washington Highway 2 - I drove by this wonderful shop while we were out heading home from a drive up to Steven's Pass, Washington. It was a beautiful day but no fall color yet. There were some dead leaves but only one spot where I saw a vine maple changing. I have driven by this shop with the intent of stopping. I was so glad to stop there and will continue to stop there whenever I pass by. I will be sharing some additional images from this spot.
I really have enjoyed seeing the i shots and thanks for all the wonderful comment on I is for Industrial.Ilene SamowitzWashington20130908DSCF2628hdrx
