September 23 2005:
Retail Park

It’s difficult to make any kind of photograph of a retail park. They are buildings housing a set range of retailers fronted by a car park. Need I say more?

But my keyboard has been propped up for ages, due to its broken leg, so today I bit the bullet. I actually bought it at Maplins, not mfi who sell “furniture”.


Photoshop:
Cropped and Resized
Converted to Grayscale
Verticals corrected (especially for Robin…)





This time last year I spotted some unusual
‘Headgear’

Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel
1/400s f/16.0 at 40.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

very nice image Ray - the shadows at the bottom add a bit of mystery to the architecture.

MFI has never looked so good!

I think B&W is appropriate for these 'grey' places! Great capture - lovely sharp lines.

(Isn't Maplins a cool store though?!)

Glad you didn't go to PCWorld.
I went one better with my choice of shopping centre

Actually looks like an interesting place to be :)
Like the shot a lot, the shadows and sunlight, well balanced comp with the sky
