The first shot below is an example of a simple architectural shot that was licensed in the past week. The second shot is a wider-angle view of the same building.
The Pulaski County Courthouse in Little Rock, Arkansas is on the National Register of Historic Places. I made this picture on an early Saturday morning so that downtown traffic and parking would not be of any concern. I actually arrived so early I had to wait in my vehicle for the sun to rise high enough over the gigantic skyscrapers we have here in Little Rock in order for the building to be lit. With the exception of a single liquor-smelling street beggar who apparently didn't get drunk enough the prior night to sleep late, I was left undisturbed to wander the streets, setup my tripod wherever I wanted, and frame some pictures. Here, the crisp blue sky made things easy as pie. In fact, I drove on to Memphis after this shoot and shot several other photos on the same day which have also been licensed. When the light is great, take advantage of it!
