Triborough Bridge From The Cheap Seats

This photo is almost four years old. I shot it from the window of my Amtrak train home one June day in 2012.

 

I spotted it again when I was doing some housecleaning on an old drive. I just dragged it into Aurora HDR to see what I could do with it.

 

Digital photography is endlessly interesting because it's not just the cameras that keep getting better. I probably took this photo as far as I could back in 2012, but a 2016 app let me take it farther.

 

Sometimes I think about photographers who threw out boxes and boxes of old slides upon pulling them out of storage and discovering that the colors had shifted. In 1983 it was unrecoverable damage, but today, even the free app that comes with your phone can fix it.
