I use google street view to scout areas for potential images. The day I took this shot, I was eating lunch while driving down the road – on street view – in Norwalk. I caught an interesting building and sign as I was driving by. So, I stopped and rotated the view and framed it up. Looked like a nice shot. It is not often you see a fortune teller. I decided to drive that way after work and take the shot. Upon arrival, I parked and walked up to the front of the property and spot metered the left side of the building. The reason why I measured it ahead of time is that I would not have time to look at a histogram, and fiddle with my camera while standing in the middle of the street. I got my EV number and then converted that number to my camera with a shutter speed fast enough to hand hold while standing on an island in the middle of the street. I then jogged to the island in the middle of the street and quickly composed and took this shot. I did need to snap the shot between cars driving by. The resulting photo was what I had previsualized, and the exposure was spot-on. I did not manipulate anything other than standard minor adjustments. The lines were all straight because I chose a good focal length and took care when shooting. The lighting was not the best. The building is north facing, so unless I was shooting at dawn, the light would be just as bad all day long. The shadow from the tree on the right was best in the late afternoon.
