****************************************************
The weather reports were forecasting rain last weekend, and I was planning to spend my lunch-hour photographing umbrellas in the rain; however, it ended up being just damp and gray outside most of the time, and there were no umbrellas to be seen. Consequently, I decided to spend my half-hour of daily lunch-time "photography time" down in the subway station, where I knew I would find some interesting scenes, while staying dry. There was construction underway at my own 96th Street stop, so I took the train down to 72nd Street, found a quiet bench on the downtown side of the 72nd Street IRT line, and sat patiently to see what would happen across the tracks, on the uptown side... Thirty minutes later, I crossed over to the uptown side of the tracks, waiting to see how people were behaving across the way...
As with the last several subway groups that I shot at ISO 6400, there's a little bit of noise/graininess in these images -- but I decided to leave them that way. I did adjust the "hot spots" (areas over-exposed from the fluorescent lighting in the subway station) and "cold spots" (shadows and dark areas), and punched up the color a little bit. But aside from that, this is just one more view of the typical daytime scene on a typical NYC subway line...
*******************
Over the years, I've seen various photos of the NYC subway "scene," usually in black-and-white format. But during a recent class on street photography at the NYC International Center of Photography (ICP), I saw lots and lots of terrific subway shots taken by my fellow classmates ... so I was inspired to start taking a few myself.
So far, I'm taking photos in color; I don't feel any need to make the scene look darker and grimier than it already is. To avoid disruption, and to avoid drawing attention to myself, I'm not using flash shots; but because of the relatively low level of lighting, I'm generally using an ISO setting of 800 or 1600 -- except for my most recent photos with my new Nikon D700, which are all shot at ISO 6400.
I may eventually use a small "pocket" digital camera, but the initial photos have been taken with my somewhat large, bulky Nikon D700 DSLR. If I'm photographing people on the other side of the tracks in a subway station, there's no problem holding up the camera, composing the shot, and taking it in full view of everyone -- indeed, hardly anyone pays attention to what's going on across the tracks, and most people are lost in their own little world, reading a book or listening to music. But if I'm taking photos inside a subway car, I normally set the camera lens to a wide angle (18mm) setting, point it in the general direction of the subject(s), and shoot without framing or composing.
So far it seems to be working ... we'll see how it goes...

For my best reads I chose A Series of Unfortunate Events, by Lemony Snicket, I chose this series because it was the first series I ever finished and it really infected me with the reading bug.
When I switched over my "Danielle's Picks 2006" book display in February, I still wanted to display the remaining books and book list. So I moved them outside the room.
