What was simply to be the annual visit to the Photoplus Expo at the Javits Center turned into both a photo show, Railfan and history adventure in mid-town Manhattan. The annual photo show was crowded as usual, and there were many interesting displays of new equipment. But it was also noticed that there was a larger number of vendors that had professional models in front of commercial backdrops. Having my Pentax K5 along, it did make for some interesting photos.
After leaving the Javits Center it was decided to cross the street and explore the new 34th St. Hudson Yards subway station and take the train east to Grand Central Terminal. The new station is very interesting, modern and clean. It is also an extremely deep station, and is accessed through a very long escalator to a lower mezzanine. It is a very different place than the hundred year old stations so common on the system. The 7 line train was taken to the Fifth Ave. Bryant Park station.
The next part of the adventure was to see firsthand the demolition of the block of buildings to the west of Grand Central Terminal on 42nd Street. For the first time in the history of the current Grand Central (opened in 1913) one can see the west side of the terminal at a distance. A truly amazing view, and one that will not remain for long, as the new One Vanderbilt tower will again block the view.
The one day excursion was completed with a walk through Bryant Park, south on Sixth Ave. and then through Macy’s.
I had made my mind up to avoid church statues on this trip, but could not resist the directional light falling on some of them. I have preferred the soft, caressing nature of the light here over digital 'sharpness' in the processing. Picture needs to be seen 'on black' in the lightbox.

Okay... There's this really yucky job I'm meant to be doing... but I just got back from a fabulous trip to the Peruvian Amazon.
And yes, my "play with it" tendencies have got the better of me. All this done with PhotoPlus. (There's a free version.)
No- I didn't use the "automatic" "artistic effects". Nor was this done with any HDR tool. (Speaking of tools... Exifer seems great. I just got it, but very happy so far. Free. Imports/ exports/ edits exif and iptc data. (Which is how I got the "date taken" data right.))
I was just trying to repair the washed out sky! (Why do I get washed out skies? Old to computers and cameras... new to digital cameras... Love my Canon EOS 350D.. (glad I bought my DSLR before the mfgs started skipping the LCD info display)... and no, I don't save in RAW, but do use highest res/ lowest compression.) Then this just took on a life of its.
Mostly, this is the result of...
Layers.
Masks.
"Levels" modifications. (Levels of R/G/B across image)
A little cloning, to erase distracting odds and ends.
Hue/ Lightness/ Saturation adjustment... mostly saturation.

The boy is bringing some sugar cane to the "rum factory"- a thatched building about 60' x 40' where rum is made. In the 1850s, a German installed an English cane press (like a laundry wringer), horse driven (walks in circle). His family operates the press. The juice is fermented in, essentially, a dugout canoe. The still was made from two 55 gallon drums.
And the rum tastes great! Flickrers Treeflower and Mikee_Peru have more photos of the factory.
(Trip organized by Cornell's Adult University , with contributions by International Expeditions, Explorama, and Jungle Expeditions... all of whom I think are great, hence this plug!)
Speaking of plugs: This picture taken next door to the clinic of "La Doctora", Linnea Smith, Amazon Medical Project, which is even greater. What you read on their site, I saw for myself. US taxpayers can deduct donations.
Map location: You need to use the satellite view to get a good idea of where this is... the "map" variation seems a bit mis-aligned in this region.

Ganesha is the Hindu deity of education, and the bringer of good fortune to any new enterprise.
This little Ganesha was given to us by Hindu friends several years ago. My picture is a merger of two raw negatives, one straight and the other with the focus pulled during exposure to blur the detail on the cut glass vessel behind.
