Another from my ride outside. This is the Board of Trade with the goddess of agriculture statue at the top. Normally, the street is too filled with cars to be able to see the full building.
This one is best on black.
Looks like the whole place is devoid of people, very eery. But a great shot Taffy. I've seen a couple of ripper b&w shots of this building in a processing course I've got so it's particularly interesting to see this broader view and in colour.
Wow, there is more traffic in our small town than in Chicago. That's crazy. But, we aren't as locked down as you are. We only have 16 cases in our county since it's mostly rural.
View on black is a good call. It is sad that this COVID-19 situation had to happen to give you the opportunity to get shots like these, but you have to take shots when you can get them. Very well done. Be careful out there at night!
I am going to try to get into Atlanta at night to capture shots I would normally have isses because of impediments. I take drives too just to witness the eerie dissertion.
@casablanca Thanks for asking about my leg! I'm limping around now without needing a walking stick so that's an improvement. Doing a 'tele-medicine' appointment tomorrow with an ortho person about next steps so I work on it properly, given that going out for PT isn't an option these days. I'll be glad to get back to normal! Thanks as always for your visits and comments!
@tosee Thanks Tom! I took it through the front windshield so was pleased that it came out as clear as it did. The window are was limited to where the wipers were, as the rest was quite dirty.
Great night time shot.................I thought you were in your vehicle or standing in the middle of the road! Nice of everyone to stay off the road so you could photograph this street! Lol
What a beautiful nighttime shot! It's eerie to see cities so empty. I've never been to Chicago and have wanted to visit for years. My son planned to attend a conference there this summer and invited me to join him; the conference was cancelled yesterday. We hope to make it another time!
@taffy So glad to hear it is improving and you have some advice lined up. My next PT is via video at the end of May if we are not up and running again (pardon the pun) by then. Wishing you all the best with yours and help for a full recovery!
Was this take through the car windshield ?
