Global Eye: Seattle
Photographer: Lola Akinmade, Virginia, USA
Getting the Shot: Years ago, I remember walking around side streets all day trying to find the best shot of the Seattle Space Needle. After fruitless attempts, I decided to ride the elevators up to the top. By the time I was done for the day and leaving around dusk, I looked up at the tower and shot this picture.
The Details: The sky was a beautiful indigo blue and the eclectic street lamp in the foreground gave the tower an other worldly, intergalactic feel. I usually travel with a Nikon Digital SLR (DSLR) camera, but this shot was captured with a simple point-and-shoot APS Kodak Advantix camera. I wasn't sure what I was going to get until I developed the film...
We love how Lola managed to make the street lamp seem more otherwordly than the Space Needle behind it. What do you think? Send us your own photos for Global Eye by adding them to our Flickr pool.
Nice shot, Lola! Thanks for letting us use it.
