Window Shopping

previous / next

This was shot the same day as the 2 previous posts but at Peddler's Village in Lahaska PA. This shopping village is so beautiful during the holiday season and it was quite packed with shoppers that day.

I love the way the stores' windows look this time of year and took quite a few shots of them while in the Village that evening. I thought this pottery was particularly sweet.

I know that there are some scratches and smudges on the windows which you can see in this shot. I decided to leave them rather than clean them up. I think it adds authenticity to the scene.

Technical Details:
NIKON D700
Nikkor f2.8 28-70mm
1/100 second
F/2.8
ISO 1600
70 mm

News:

This photo of the Bucknell Football field is a 2 page feature photo in the Fall 2008 issue of Bucknell Magazine.

This photo of the Bucknell Quad is a 2 page feature photo in the Summer 2008 issue of Bucknell Magazine.

As of July 2008 I have decided to post the same photos on "Parallel Universe" as I do here. It has become too complicated to maintain two different photoblogs on a regular basis. Feel free to visit "Parallel Universe" and look through the portfolio/archives since there are quite a few photos there that were never posted here. I will continue to post on both since each one gets different viewers. I have also changed the title of Parallel Universe to Capture This Photography 2.

Check out my other Photoblog portfolio/archives:

Crispy and beautiful image. D700 certainly performs well with ISO 1600. But your composition makes it a great picture!

A different window from the Christmas traditional, but attractive and elegant, as the photography.

You have captured a lovely motif that matches the season perfectly. Sharpness and DOF are excellent. Great photo.

This is a very attractive display in this store. I too enjoy checking out the creative ways stores display their goods at Christmas time. Fine shot.

Beautifully captured window display and i love that pottery. I would love to have it myself. Don't know where I would put it though.
Great lighting and I like the window smudge authenticity.

The image is so clear and detailes, as the composition that made the shop's owner... I like so much Christmas decorations, they give me a sense of safe and nostalgic at the same time. A really good shot Laurie!

Laurie, I like this classic holiday scene, great DoF so that the foreground is accentuated.

Lovely colours again, Laurie - I really dig the background tones, that brownish palette works really nicely with the sharper clarity of the foreground elements.

Ahhhh. I love this one, Laurie. I haven't been out shopping yet and here in California with all the recent sunshine, it's not quite feeling like the holidays. This lovely and well-composed image helps!
