2nd HDR photo of the State Theater in Plant City, Florida.
This is the historical State Theater in Plant City, Florida. According to one of the locals, it was built in 1939. It was used a theater until the early 60’s, at the moment it’s an empty building waiting for a new tenant (would be a cool place to have a gallery). It’s previous owner used it as an Emporium.

Thanks, Patricia :) I wish I was good enough to be considered a master at HDR but there’s a lot of folks on this site that are miles ahead of me in this :) Thank you though , I do appreciate the complement.

Excellent perspective … great work on the HDR… really makes this image scream art deco!
MKWhite replied
Thanks, Danielle :) It’s a really neat building, too bad it’s not being utilized.

It is really too bad someone isnt using that great building. I live in a historic disctrict so there are lots of building that have been restored and being utilized… it really adds to the nostalgia and history of an area to keep this type of thing alive!
MKWhite replied
We’re lucky it’s still standing. History for whatever reason is something that the Tampa area just doesn’t seem interested in.

Nice and crisp
MKWhite replied
Thanks, PPV :) I would love to take some shots of the building dead on but there’s always a large truck or something blocking my angle, so I end up with thie side views instead.
