Owl Soda Fountain Wenatchee Washington

This is the Owl Soda Fountain in Wenatchee Washington its a place where you still can get an old fashion old-fashioned ice cream soda, ice cream sunday, milk shake and many other things from the past. It has resisted the change of fast food places like Mc Donalds and many others and stuck with the traditional way things were made. Not the cheaper faster ways of the bussiness world thats what probably what has kept them around for 107 years. Taste and quality still matter! I was told it has the been open since 1921. The Wenatchee World had an article dated 8/1/2012 (a few days after this photo was taken) states it was open 1894 in various locations. The Owl Soda Fountain is located just down the street from my last post Wenatchee Gas Station Restored located at  25 N. Wenatchee Ave.

Wenatchee Gas Station Restored

When I first saw this gas station I wished I could get inside the wrought iron fence, I experimented with several angles trying to shoot through the fence. I could of easily gave up, but what I was trying to emphasize was the price so I set my camera to bracket at 2 stop increments took my tripod and hoisted the camera about 4 feet over my head and triggered it with the wireless remote. I shot several at f22 then changed it to f8 for a faster shutter speed. The shot below came from a series of f22, I like the composition. I had no idea what I was shooting because I could not see through the viewfinder.  Although f22 is not the ideal f stop because of the possibility of camera movement it worked out in this case. I will take credit for a happy accident. I spent a little more time in post on this image because of a little camera shake and the software had trouble aligning the images. I think it was worth the final image. Just down the streetis anther one of my posts the Owl Soda Fountain.
