Pittsboro was established in 1785. I love Pittsboro. I visit the farmer’s markets. I do the farm tour of the sustainable agriculture. I shop at the businesses in historic downtown Pittsboro. I am not a photographer but I do play with HDR photos. I thought it would be neat to create a resource of Pittsboro in HDR and photograph some of the landmarks and businesses here. So here it is, Pittsboro NC in HDR in 2014 (and 2015).

Note: This post is a work in progress. Pittsboro is going to change drastically over the decades to come, from being a tiny town to one of the largest technology hubs in the USA. I paused work on this post in August 2014. Finally, in February 2015, I am publishing it the way it sits. I will update this post as time allows. If you have input on things I should add please feel free to email me or comment below.

Also, this is just one person’s view of Pittsboro. The filters and HDR software I use alters original images, but then again every camera does.

 Government Buildings:

Pittsboro Courthouse

The Chatham County Courthouse

It caught fire March 25, 2010. I happened to be in town this day and watched as it burned. 11 Fire Departments responded to the blaze. The clock tower and upper floors were destroyed but the courthouse was rebuilt. In 2013 it reopened as a museum.

Chatham County Justice Center

If you ask me it is this huge to serve the future needs of Chatham County as Chatham Park takes shape and drastically increases the size of Pittsboro. The Justice Center is located at 200 Sanford Road.

      Thanks PBOkid. I have more HDR images here: http://www.telapost.com/hdr that are available for people to use. And yes, they have been used in various places! Kind of funny as I am not a photographer at all, just a guy with a camera. 🙂
