City Of Destiny - a photo on Flickriver

City Of Destiny

A fun view of Tacoma, WA, with Mt Rainier looming large. Tacoma was being called the City Of Destiny at one time in the past, hence the title.

Thankfully the dog days of summer passed and we finally have some crisp air in the NW again. This is just a common Tacoma view point from Ruston Way and I knew I wanted the mountain large and a small part of the city for this shot so it wound up being a large crop. The 200-500 lens would have been so much better at 500mm, but here it is anyway. Topaz' AI Clear cleaned the noise and sharpened it pretty well. A toutch of high pass sharpening in PS was also added to just the central area, and the Hoya HD3 PL filter was definitely on there increasing the saturation.

Many thanks for your warm and kind visits and wishing everyone a great December and holiday season! 💖
