Beautiful brownstone townhouses on Union St in Brooklyn.The other shot showed brick townhouses,these are the real deal.
Post number 11, counting down to number 3 of 13 images in the series based on a common inspiration - Life During Wartime by Talking Heads.
The sound of gunfire off in the distance Somewhere in BKLYN.
Washington Park is the name of the street, and it's right across from the very spacious Fort Greene Park where we went for the afternoon Halloween festivities. These beauties are about a hundred years old, have four floors and are worth in the millions of dollars...each floor sometimes a million or more. A lot different than the southern part of New Jersey where I live!
Brownstones in Boston's Back Bay, reflected in the lagoon along the esplanade.
With the Sony, I got a much wider angle than with the iPhone, which is nice for this scene. But I just snapped this one handheld, so it doesn't have the long exposure glassiness of the other shot. Which do you like better?
I also did more editing on the colors on this one, so I might have to further upload a similarly edited version of the iPhone shot for a fair comparison.
Union Park in the South End last Sunday. It was a dark and gloomy overcast day but I’ve learned that that’s actually all the better for bringing out the fall foliage colors, and I’m so glad I went out and explored that day.
This was shot with my new 19mm Sigma lens on my Sony a6000. I’m happy with this lens - the photos seem sharp even around the edges of the frame, and the aperture goes wider than the kit lens. It did seem to sometimes be a bit slower to autofocus than the sony lenses (at least on a dark winter afternoon), but since I was using it for landscape type stuff it wasn’t a big deal. The 19mm on the 1.5 crop sensor gives me a field of view that’s just about the same as the field of view on the iPhone 6s camera, so its a nice fov for me that I’m very much used to composing with. Overall, I think this is the prime lens I’m probably going to be using the most to replace the kit zoom lens for the landscape/cityscape scenes I like to shoot.
These Upper West Side Brownstones, photographed between two opposing brownstones, reminded me of a Magritte painting.
So much interesting architecture in Brooklyn. Who knew? Should have read my history before I hit the streets......this is the look of Brooklyn!
Brownstones in Boston's Back Bay. I'll have to go back here more often to try for different lighting, but even at dusk all the brownstones lined up together look kinda neat.

Another iPhone shot from Sunday - this one just shot in the built in camera app using HDR, and then edited in Lightroom Mobile.
I love this spot but now I'm kicking myself - I think I messed up the perspective and should have moved a little to the right to get better symmetry. Well, the problem is its not perfectly symmetric here no matter what you do, so its always a little frustrating.
I'll have to go back and try again next time the clouds look good! I'm also happy they finished construction on that building in the middle, it looks much better now.
Boston brownstones in the Back Bay, shot with Sony a6000 and 55-210mm lens, from the Prudential Skywalk
Same street as the previous shot with the flowers. No colourful flower displays here, no children's boots made into flower pots.. nothing interesting :( Just some houses - and I find this interesting enough to snap a shot?! Am I a weirdo or what??
Not just take a shot but even process it twice, one for BW - who does this? :(
A glimpse at a street full of the iconic Harlem brownstones of New York.
