 Photographer’s Notes
Dedicated to Brent_S and Caba, two of Seattle's most talented DPC photographers, who have shot this building previously ... but very differently.

Messing around at Seattle center, shooting for Heavy Metal Song titles, I spent some time shooting the exterior of Paul Allen’s Experience Music Project (EMP) and Science Fiction Museum. It’s an oddly designed building with a very cool metal skin. HDR brings it out wonderfully.

Obviously a Metal II out-take. I debated long and hard whether to enter it in Metal II but am risking another photo there.

Enjoy.

Dynamic in its design, delicate in how you captured it

WOW! We have seen many shots similar, but none quite the same as this one. This is a very awesome shot could be a stock background photo for a major OS :)

Great abstract. High marks from me. I like how it confuses the eye, but in a good way.

a very interesting study, lovely colours and detail and the nice shadows help bring the shapes to life, it should do well
