Last month, I had a chance to travel for the first time since the pandemic began, as my family and I visited family in Seattle. I’d been to this area of the US once before, but that was as an Army cadet for our advanced camp, and as such, I only got to see a blip of the airport and then the lovely confines of Fort Lewis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time, we had a chance to explore the city, and make two quick ventures out to Olympic National Park for some photography. When doing family stuff around the city, I simply carried my little Fujifilm X100V, which worked wonderfully. For my trips out to Olympic, I brought my Canon R5 with the Sigma 14-24mm f\/2.8 DG Art, Canon RF 24-105mm f\/4L IS and Canon RF 70-200mm f\/2.8L IS. While the primary purpose of my trip wasn’t photography, I did get a chance to get out and shoot, including some lovely shots of the Space Needle from my brother-in-law’s apartment building. Here’s a selection from the trip:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
