This week I've been out of town for work which usually is a great time to get out and photograph something new that I don't always see in Seattle. Monday and Tuesday I was in Friday Harbor which I know is a beautiful place so I brought my camera and tripod expecting to get some nice night shots after work. Well there is one thing I was worried about, the weather. Unfortunately the weather didn't allow me to get out and take the photos I had planned.

I've read several blogs challenging people to try and take photos that are within 10 feet of you as you read the post. Many times I look around the room and am clueless about what I'd photograph. Most times I ignore this challenge cause I can get out and shoot something outside. Well as you in Seattle/PNW know Monday night was a stormy, windy and rainy night. Needless to say I didn't get a chance to take pictures of the Harbor. Instead I was cooped up in my motel room for the night. I decided to try and find things interesting in the room and was messing around. Here are a few photos that I took at my motel room in Friday Harbor. To tell you the truth I'm not sure I like the photos but thought I'd share anyways! This was my attempt at being creative in my given surroundings. What do you guys think? All photos were taken by my 50mm prime lens that I reviewed in a previous post here: How Nifty is the Nifty Fifty?
