Downtown Issaquah during Salmon Days

Walking through the crowded streets of Salmon Days. Salmon Days is a popular Fall festival welcoming back spawning salmon to their home at the Issaquah Fish Hatchery. The event draws in the area of 150,000 people to Issaquah each October. I was attracted to the challenge of shooting a hand-held spherical panorama in a crowd and the colorful image the balloon vendors made. There is only one or two people in this panorama panorama that appear in two locations eventhough this panorama is 4 frames and took about 40 seconds to shoot.
