Parking Lot

Posted by Don (Spokane, United States) on 22 June 2012 in Landscape & Rural.

When I arrived this morning at my coffee haunt, it had rained overnight, the bright morning sun was out. II liked the bright light on the shrubs so I took several shots of the empty parking lot with only the worker's cars and mine to the far right. Later, I decided I could merge several of these into this shot. I know it's not much of a picture, but it's very rare to see the parking lot this empty. So, to me, it's a document! :-)

It conveys that time of peace early in the morning before it all starts, a nice time of day

Still it conveys the promise of a better day ahead. Is this a two or three frame stitch Don?

A great stitching job Don, and you didn't even use a tripod ? Nice tidy parking space, I feel like going to shoot my local equivalent. Maybe that would be a fun idea to have a group of us shoot the same subject in our own location each week...?

I like that one light just reaching the top edge of the frame and the expansive feel created by the opening "V" starting at the low brick wall and receding brick sidewalk.

Great capture of the early morning; the best time to enjoy your coffee is in the peaceful calm before the rush!

I can't see where you merged it. Instead, it looks like a panoramic to me. ;-)

Beautiful light and I love the sky. A nice panoramic view with the tables in the foreground. And the best time to get coffee!
