Garganta
by Totonho Villeroy
Minha garganta estranha quando não te vejo
Me vem um desejo doido de gritar
Minha garganta arranha a tinta e os azulejos
Do teu quarto, da cozinha, da sala de estar
Minha garganta arranha a tinta e os azulejos
Do teu quarto, da cozinha, da sala de estar
Venho madrugada perturbar teu sono
Como um cão sem dono me ponho a ladrar
Atravesso o travesseiro, te reviro pelo avesso
Tua cabeça enlouqueço, faço ela rodar
Atravesso o travesseiro, te reviro pelo avesso
Tua cabeça enlouqueço, faço ela rodar
Sei que não sou santa, as vezes vou na cara dura
As vezes ajo com candura pra te conquistar
Mas não sou beata, me criei na rua
E não mudo minha postura só pra te agradar
Mas não sou beata, me criei na rua
E não mudo minha postura só pra te agradar
Vim parar nessa cidade, por força da circunstância
Sou assim desde criança, me criei meio sem lar
Aprendi a me virar sozinha,
e se eu tô te dando linha é pra depois te abandonar
Aprendi a me virar sozinha
e se eu tô te dando linha é pra depois te abandonar
Captured in: Gantry Plaza State Park (GPSP), Long Island City, NY.
Seen here is a twilight view of the Midtown Manhattan Skyline -- as viewed from the banks of the East River in Gantry Plaza State Park.
In the interest of full disclosure, the skyscraper reflections shown here are not the original reflections that were cast in the East River that evening.
As you probably suspect, there's a bit of digital trickery in those NYC waters. I was continuing to experiment w/ reflections in Photoshop, and this is the result of my attempts to add additional detail to the water.
This is also a follow-up to one of my earlier attempts at creating a reflected skyline view. That image didn't have a very realistic look to it, so I was looking to improve on my last attempt (Midtown Reflections). Hope you like it!

Just some quick info about the park itself:
Gantry Plaza State Park runs along the banks of New York's East River, and offers many beautiful views of the NYC skyline -- including the Empire State, Chrysler, and MetLife buildings, as well as the new WTC tower.
There are several 'Long Island' gantries found throughout the park, as this area was once a dock facility used to load and unload rail-car floats. The gantries were refurbished during the park's construction, and are now centerpieces of the area.
Railroad tracks once connected these floats to the Long Island Rail Road, and aided in the transport of shipments to and from various industries as far back as the mid-1920s.*

Image Details / Processing Information:
Midtown Reflections is a Fused (Natural) HDR image constructed from 3 bracketed shots - 2 stop differential between each image.
Image processed w/ Photomatix, and finished using Photoshop CC -- which also includes the use of various Topaz lab plugins (including: Clean, Denoise, Adjust, Glow and LensFX).
Shot in the crowded Times Square Subway Station. I have had to shoot several times as I was without a tripod and in any case impossible to use down there
Flying above Europe from Athens to London, and then NYC over the Atlantic. This shot must be above France.

So many ways to shoot this iconic location... I chose the long view but, a large format presented so, the magnifier works pretty good here.
11 shot Pano of NYC at Sunrise. Taken from Liberty State Park, NJ.
These are the -2 in a bracketed shot sequence, but I ended up not doing any HDR with them.
