*** READER’S LENS – ONE TIME USE ONLY *** Elston Hill elstonh@yahoo.com Seattle, WA 3604523935 From my balcony in South Lake Union 2023/4/12 I was hoping to take a photo of the Space Needle with the sun behind it from my balcony at Mirabella, a retirement community in South Lake Union. With all the rain and clouds, the project seemed doomed this spring. To my surprise and delight we had a clear evening and I nailed the sun behind the space needle. Fortunately, I set the camera to take three shots with different exposures each time I triggered the shutter. The photo with the least light was the only one to get the sun right.
