This firehall theatre was shot in manual mode and manually focused with my 35 mm 2.0 lens at f/11; exp 1/5; ISO 400; wb: shade.
The settings for the City Hall building were the same, except exp 1/8, and I used the EZ Action Contra Pop Soft on it. See the guy smoking in front of the building? Just after I started shooting, he went into the building, and I got a little paranoid that maybe I wasn't allowed to shoot photos of municipal buildings, and he was heading into the building to contact security. . . to come throw me in jail with bread and water, and confiscate my Nikon D40. So I jumped in my car and sped recklessly away, NOT EVEN STOPPING TO PUT MY CAMERA LENS CAP ON! (so now you know how I spend MY exciting friday nights!)

I bet that guy thinks you are a detective checking to see how much time he's outside smoking.

Ha ha ha. My brother-in-law saved me from getting arrested in D.C. :-) I didn't even know that photographing government buildings was suspicious until he told me.
Lots of nice shapes incorporated into these buildings. And you have a great "capture" story! I'm glad you made it to your get-away car. I really like these photos a lot. ML
I REALLY like that first building and how neat would it be to get some people shots there.. tfs. toni
I really love the dog outside the fire house. HOW CUTE IS THAT! Someone has a good sense of humor for sure. I love the colors on the first one. Awesome.
You sure do know how to spend an exciting evening! LOL I am sitting here giggling at your story. The pictures are fabulous, but I think I like your commentary best! :o)
Those are awesome pictures! I can really see some great shots in front of the red of that firehouse.
That red just stands out vibrantly against the subued background! WOW, what a neat capture!
