Asymmetry has its benefits too, don’t get me wrong. But this is a post all about symmetry. The most attractive people have symmetrical faces. Classic architecture produced symmetrical buildings. Symmetry is beauty.

Symmetry
I love symmetry. When the left side of something looks like the right side of something, I’m happy. I don’t go to the extent of being obsessive about it and seek things that are symmetrical, but when I happen upon something that fits this, I enjoy it. Like this scene. This was so cool I had to get it on film. Fuji Pro 160S film to be exact.

Corporate Fountain
Here’s an old one that I had intended to re-shoot after I got my wide angle lens. I never got around to reshooting it before they turned off the fountains for the winter, so I decided to just go with this one for now, because I like it. It isn’t as wide as I’d like, and now that I have a new filter that will allow me to shoot long exposures during the daylight, I believe I can greatly improve this image with a reshoot, but that probably won’t happen for a while. I know you’re all disappointed, but that’s very insulting since I gave you this perfectly good picture to hold you over.
Anyway, this is a 5 shot HDR I took at the same time as Quick Turnaround, located in this corporate office park in Overland Park, Kansas called Corporate Woods.

Madison Square Fountain
Sure, everyone has heard of Madison Square Garden, but this the Madison Square Fountain. Pretty clever right; I just made it up.
But seriously, I took this photograph in Madison, Georgia when I was down there for work. Madison has a nice little historic downtown area with some shops and restaurants where we had dinner. I did a little exploring just north of the main downtown and found this little square that was partially under construction. I left the construction part out of the picture because it was boring; they were just pouring some concrete or something and doing some landscaping. I enjoyed the fountain and the evening sky though. When the place is finished it will probably look pretty nice, but at this time, the part under construction was uninteresting. As you can see from the photograph, it was a nice night. The days down there were extremely hot, but it had cooled down enough to make it a comfortable evening to be outside taking pictures. The only problem was the mosquitoes; I got back to the hotel with quite a few bites. I think it was worth it though for the pictures I got that night.
This is another photograph I combined from two HDR photographs to get a wider perspective on the scene. I first shot the fountain and the lower part of the sky, and then tilted my camera upwards slightly to capture more of the sky. I really like square shaped photographs for a lot of subjects, so that was what I was going for when I took these.
I just bought another new piece of equipment for my camera, but more on that later...
