All Gummed Up

Posted on 24 January 2009 by Terry

This is the “Gumwall” in Seattle by the Pike Place Market. Two or three years ago, this was barely covered and the bricks were still clearly visible. Now it has become quite the piece of art with lots of colors and textures. Ideally this should be shot with a tripod and with an aperture of f/8 or better. The light was really bad today and instead of boosting my ISO above 200, I chose to open up my aperture to 2.2 as I was hand holding the shot. The first was shot at 1/125 and the second @ 1/160. I boosted the vibrancy and the saturation a bit, to bring out the colors.The first shot is the much stronger shot, but the second looks like dripping wax, so I thought it a bit in interesting as well.
