Symmetry Landscape

An apartment parking lot, symmetrical buildings on the left and right side. In the distance, there is one white car in the middle and two black/dark ones on the right and left.
50mm ISO6400 F2.8 1/100

The Process:
At first, when reading this prompt, I thought, “how the heck am I gonna find a symmetrical landscape.” When you search up symmetrical landscapes, you find these like, super beautiful and gorgeous mirrored places, and I was thinking that theres no way in hell I’ll find somethig like that (in my limited places I’m willing to travel). But then I realized, it’s not that complicated (and if anything, I like to now think of the prompt metaphorically), and while walking around with my friend (same day as Weight or Mass post), I was able to capture this photo.

The Product:
These set of buildings are not only (mostly) symmetrical, but my favorite thing about this photo has to be the cars in the background, which are also, in a way, symmetrical to each other. This photo definitely gives off a sort of balance, even with all its asymmetrical ways, which is a nice change of pace for the photos I like to take! One thing I definitely learned from this prompt is that symmetrical landscapes are not as common as you think… oh and I need to stop using F2.8 as much because this photo is a little bit too blurry for my taste.
