Description
Horton Plaza opened in 1985 and this unique outdoor shopping mall started the revitalization of downtown San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter. Today many tenants have left, most notable Nordstrom (one of their major anchor stores), and Panda Inn which was Horton Plaza’s last full-service restaurant.
When I first got into digital photography many years ago, I took a similar shot of the Palazzo (modeled after the Palazzo building in Venice, Italy) as the centerpiece of my composition. I used a full-size tripod and after taking a couple of shots I was approached by security who reminded me that tripods were not allowed without prior approval. They were kind enough to let me finish and one of those shots became one of my best selling stock images. This time I used a table top tripod and was able to photograph with no problems.
