old Unionville Photo

Photographer’s Note

Old Fire Hall and Main Street in Unionville, Ontario. The typical street of the North American town from last century. The history of Unionville dates back to the late 1700s, when the area at the centre of Markham Township became a meeting place for the Berczy Settlers. Later with the establishment of the Grist Mill, known as Union Mills in 1841 and the arrival of the railway in 1871, Unionville became a service centre for the surrounding rural community. Much of the architecture from the mid-to-late 19th Century survives in Unionville to this day.
The photo I took about 6 am in a very cold morning.

Hi Ziggy, A nice shot to the quiet and peaceful small town in the morning before dawn when the sky provided you the beautiful blue background. I like the composition of the arrangement to have the street coming out from the corner to the distance. Nice contrast and good use of the lights.

Hi Ziggy. Like Wes said you made good use of the provided lighting. The tri-pod sure was a must here. Well done Ziggy.

Hello Ziggy,
une autre vue de ces petits villages canadiens si différents de cedux que l'on peut voir en Europe, et heureusement, car la richesse est aussi dans la diversité.
Le calme y règne, des éclairages originaux qui accentuent ces différences avec les villages européens.
Merci du partage et excellent week-end.
Daniel.

Guten Tag Ziggy,
a nice early morning shot, perfect exposure showing a pre X-mas scenery.
Again a kind of history lesson.
Regards

Hi Ziggy,
Unionville looks to be a preserved area with a very homogeneistic architecture..; A nice place to see and a very good night shot

Good morning Ziggy,
Another marvellous morning blue hour shot. I like the crisp and clear resolution here. One can feel the cold. The lighting is alluring, and my eye is constantly drawn to the texture and patterns of the sidewalk area, with the fire hydrant providing good balance. A good exposure level to highlight the scene and provide early morning ambience.
