This establishing shot was taken in one of the walkways of Pike Place to capture the ambiance. Because it was rather dark, I set the shutter speed to 1/800 and the ISO to 3200. I composed the photo to have a vanishing point in the lower left-hand corner with the light bulbs creating leading lines along the edge of the ceiling. The neon signs also create a great depth as they grow smaller the deeper they are in the market.
In Photoshop, I cropped the photo in an attempt to apply the golden ratio here. I also found that lowering the exposure made the neon lights more punchy and simultaneously pulled back the color in the surrounding areas.
This is a fairly typical sight on the river.
The efforts to rehabilitate the Pasig seem to focus on relocating shanties like these. To me, however, these shanties are like the canary in a coal mine. That so many of the very poor settle on the river's banks is a measure of how bad the water is. Those who can afford to live elsewhere do.
