Main Street Davidson, 5 a.m. Click to enlarge. (photo panorama by PK Donson)

Davidson resident and photographer P.K. Donson created this panorama of Main Street Davidson from several photos shot one recent morning at 5 a.m. “It was kind of eerie with no cars or people out there,” she said.

For camera fans: She used a Canon camera on a tripod, and shot the series of photos at F22, 100 ISO and a very slow shutter speed (to get maximum clarity).

Saturday morning’s pre-Thanksgiving Davidson Farmer’s Market drew a big crowd. Lines at some vendors were 15 minutes long as shoppers stocked up on holiday produce, meats, and gifts.

The next market is Saturday, Dec. 4, downtown next to Town Hall.
