Today I am catering a buffet dinner for 30ish people. I was on my merry way to Trader Joe's (best grocery store in the world) and had the idea to take a photo of the carts.
Fortunately, the cart garage was completely full. I got some looks let me tell you. My butt was sticking out into the parking lot, as I was leaning over the carts, getting a good angle going on.
This is not processed a whole lot: USM, Lucis Exposure, lightened with levels. Oh and I cropped out the rest of the parking lot.
This is such a fun photo. When I first saw the title, I thought it might be a tribute to our DPC Qart. . .and expected something sultry and dark and beautifully provocative :) So in addition to this one being fun and processed way cool, it had a splash of the delightuflly unexpected, which is always nice :)
I love the effect of that Lucisart. It always gives a Norman Rockwell kind of look to photos. Way to go seeing the artistic merit in this scene! You're the bomb!
Yay! I'm glad I'm not the only one who wanders about in parking lots shooting shopping carts - I know all about the strange looks from people. Great perspective and processing on this - I really like the "no yes" thing.
great shot .. you should present it to trader joe as a print .. it might get you more work as a photographer than you could poke a stick at .. or a cart .. hmmmmm i'm getting too silly .. :)
Love Trader Joes. My husband will not thank you. Now I'm thinking about Trader Joe chocolate again. The nearest one is 30 miles away.
Great image, great inspiration. Way to go!
