Early morning walk around town [HDR]

eoren1

Went out this morning at sunrise with the hopes of getting some shots for my blog. Our town has a Winter parking ban that remains in effect and keeps cars off the street til 7am. Here are today's shots taking advantage of the empty streets. Had pretty wide dynamic range so shot all as 6 bracket exposures (1 EV apart).
Appreciate thoughts on which ones work the best so that I can use them for future posts.
Thanks!

Yeah ... what Sam said ... awesome shots and great work. Where is this little town anyway? I'm guessing New England?

Thank you both.
Marblehead, MA
A very coastal New England town. Pop 20,000.

#5 is my favorite

So, everybody had to sell their car? or do you sleep in a hotel in another town? Or does everybody have a garage for their car? I've never heard of something like this before

ciao!
Nick.

Thanks again
And the parking ban is only for 'old town'....but yah, spots tend to be at a premium as are houses with garages - rare down there as most homes are from the 1700-1800s!
I'm convinced a photographer came up with the parking ban - I'm very thankful for it though

I like it for the close-ups like 5,8,9 but for the others, the missing cars are a distraction for me (I know I'm hard to follow :-)

Not used to seeing Marblehead without tons of cars around!

Nice work.

I like #4 the best.

I've got one or two more opportunities before the cars come back...
I may be able to get some fog in early next week
