Era troppo per crederla vera;così complicata, immensa, insondabile.
E così bella, vista da lontano:
canyon d'ombra e di luce, scoppi di sole sulle facciate in cristallo,
e il crepuscolo rosa che incorona i grattacieli come ombre senza sfondo
drappeggiate su potenti abissi.
Jack Kerouac
There's a few places of entry into New York City that give you that instant feeling of the hustle and bustle of the city. One of these is Grand Central. If you take a train/subway into the city and get off at Grand Central you walk out of the building onto the busy streets of New York. It's certainly a stir of feelings as you take in the lights, traffic, people on the streets and all of the buildings. I took this angle to the horizon as I think it adds to that impact of the moment.
A big part of this process of HDR is patience. I had to sit here for sometime and wait for a cab to pull up to the cab line. After the cab came to a complete stop, I had to snap 3 photos quick enough before it started rolling forward. I like to set my aperture at at least 5.6 but sometimes for these night shots I sometimes have to go down to 3.5 so the shutter doesn't have to stay open forever.
I plan on starting up a website of my own.... more of a blog than anything else but if anyone has any suggestions or advice with these it'd be much appreciated. I'm new to this website/blogging world.
10th Ave in a car jam, but you can find a little mix of faith's on the corner.. in the famous words of Jagger; That's what makes that town the best!!!
Taken during a walk through Hoboken, NJ, i really like how there were no cars in the road, and you can see the city in the background! Actually, there was a car coming behind me, and he wasn't too pleased that he had to wait while I stopped to get a picture!

Thanks for the visits my friends!
I took this photo outside of the Majestic theater on Broadway. My sister-in-law, Brenda, my niece and I were privileged to be able to go and see this amazing play. I've seen it twice now and would love to see it again. This brilliant play should be something that everyone is able to experience at least once in their life.
I love all forms of the Phantom of the Opera!!! And in my humble opinion, I feel that Gerard Butler did a fantastic job in the movie!! I know that many felt that he was a "weak Phantom" but I didn't think so!! The movie was phenomenally similar to the play and I LOVED it as well!!
Here is the trailer for this amazing movie!! If you haven't seen it you should!! It is magnificent! (If you like this type of thing!! ^_^)
Ok, I really need to buckle down and study for my biology test tomorrow... I'll try to get back on sometime soon!! Take care my friends!! And thank you all for your support!!

So I thought that I would switch it up a bit today...ok, well maybe switch it up a lot, haha This is from our trip to New York last summer. I originally took a 7 exposure HDR...didn't like it...so then I processed just this shot...didn't like it...then I did a single RAW HDR from this file...eh....didn't like it. THEN I got Color Effex Pro, found this filter and thought holy crap this is freakin' COOL! haha
So here you go, presented in pseudo-IR. I think it came out pretty cool, a little psychadelic, but you have to keep people on their toes, don't want you guys getting bored! And I left the halo in there, thought it added to the effect!
Thanks for all of the support my friends!!

This sweet little lady when up to the officer and told him that I was photography them. Next thing you know three of them where looking at me, I hesitated and immediately pointed the camera to one of the building like if I was photographing it. For the first time I hesitated. Then I thought to my self, I’m not doing nothing wrong so I approached them with a smile and the lady was still complaining. My reply to them was “NYC is a beautiful city, have a good day” and went my way…..
Taken from the top of the Rockefeller Centre (Top of the Rock) viewing platform. The Empire State Building needs no introduction with Staten Island and downtown Manhattan bathed in a beautiful sunset. I've cropped this photo for effect. No tripods allowed on the platform but I did keep trying with hand-held so have a darker twinkling cityscape to upload later.

Ahh those were the days :-)
Just browsing through some old photos and decided to throw this one up on flickr.
I thought I knew the meaning of "lowdown" but this takes it to a whole new level. Don't get me wrong, I have an 18 yr old son who seems quite comfortable dressing a lesser version of this, but really!!!!!!......or have I missed something the last few years...:-)))
Candid scene from Canal and Broadway, NYC.
Ni la llum pàl·lida d'un vespre plujós pot mimvar el contrast entre el jardí anglès de Central Park i les torres de formigó de la ciutat. New York.
From our trip to the South Street Seaport. We ate at Sequoia, and it was amazing!
It was really cloudy when I took this, hence the almost "blank" sky! Single RAW tonemapped!
Thank you all for your views and comments, and enjoy your week!
