f12 Aperture

It is very unusual to see a photo from this angle in Oakville.  You normally do not get a look down on the street from up above and being able to see the roof of buildings and shops you have entered.  The street in the photo is Randall street a road parallel to Lakeshore.  The sun is setting and the sky is starting to turn an orange color.  In the day we went to many places like Gairloch Gardens and the train tracks by the go station and took many shots which can be found below. How we came upon this spot was we were on our way to the park by the lake when we saw the parking garage and decided to go up to the top and take some photos of the streets and buildings below.

This picture was taken a top of a parking garage in downtown Oakville.  Why I chose this photo for the front cover of the newspaper is because the photo has perspective and depth.  The other reason why I chose this photo for the front page is because it gives you a different angle on a familiar street and gives a good example of what the day was like.  Another reason why I chose this photo is because it follows many rules of composition such as Rule of Thirds, and the road draws your eyes down the photo.
