Cyclops



I took a weekend vacation to Seattle in May of 2004, and really fell in love with the city and its public displays of seemingly random art. While not exactly art, the sign above Cyclops caught my eye.

This shot, exposed on Agfa Ultra Color with a 200mm Nikon zoom, was stopped down to f/5.6 with a shutter speed determined by Aperture-priority matrix-metering. I kind of liked the shot originally, but it wasn't until I aggressively cropped the image for a small 3"x3" frame that I really loved it. This was the first picture I cropped to improve composition and I was very pleased with the end result.
