abqstyle Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #1 · Strolling Thru New York City . . . Three scenes from a walk around New York City this past week. From bright lights to subdued light. Any critiques appreciated! Oct 31, 2009 at 04:58 PM

Jeff M Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #2 · Strolling Thru New York City . . . Maybe a little less tilt in #3, but other then that... Oct 31, 2009 at 05:56 PM

GregMeuse Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #3 · Strolling Thru New York City . . . Love the colors/exposure on these. Were these handheld or tripod? Nov 02, 2009 at 06:58 PM

photocantina Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #4 · Strolling Thru New York City . . . Very nice! Any details on exposure and equip for each? Nov 04, 2009 at 09:41 PM

abqstyle Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #5 · Strolling Thru New York City . . . Thanks for the comments! All images were captured with a Nikon D60 and the kit 18-55mm VR lens. Only the first image was shot using a tripod all the others were captured handheld using the VR function of the kit lens. The top image shot at Aperture Priority mode at F:8 and -2/3 exposure compensation. The three other images were shot at 200 ISO, F:8 and typically 1/15 shutter speed. All shot raw and converted with Capture NX/ Nov 10, 2009 at 02:35 AM

eNoBlog Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #6 · Strolling Thru New York City . . . I like the tilt in #3. I know this is a tough subject to photograph this way, but one thing I'd counsel you to do (also in looking at your Broadway photos) is to simplify and make your images less busy. It's hard to focus on a subject in any of these. Nov 10, 2009 at 10:56 AM

While I understand the advice you are giving the OP, I'm guessing from his handle abqstyle that his is from Albuquerque so the BIG CITY is overwhelming. I think the Broadway shot in particular gives the feeling of sensory overload that those of us from the "sticks" get when confronted with something like the Big Apple. Nov 10, 2009 at 06:31 PM

From sticksville to NYC, the sensory overload hits just with the pictures, I have no idea how I'd handle the actual scene! However, one thing that would be helpful, in shot #2, the street sign has been cut off the left hand side. Since I can only guess this is Broadway (?), a street sign for reference purposes would enhance the image IMHO. I DO enjoy the explosion of color, and can almost hear the sounds of the city just from the picture. Jo Nov 10, 2009 at 11:39 PM

abqstyle Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #9 · Strolling Thru New York City . . . There is no rhyme or reason in Times Square! It's loud, garish, and noisy and everything is trying to get your attention at once. I was really hoping to convey a sense of that, along with the energy and colors of the place in these photos. You do not focus on one subject because everything is screaming for your attention. You just look up and watch the world swirl around you! Nov 11, 2009 at 01:45 AM

disci Online Buy and Sell: On p.1 #10 · Strolling Thru New York City . . . Thanks for sharing Donald. To my eye the look impressively sharp and clear. Regards Des Nov 11, 2009 at 08:02 AM

cjfromaustin Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #11 · Strolling Thru New York City . . . I like the first one... Looks like an American, SUV version, of the TARDIS. ha Nov 11, 2009 at 05:56 PM

Rob Tillyer Online Image Upload: On p.1 #12 · Strolling Thru New York City . . . Wow I just wandered over to this forum for a look and I must say Wow. This are great. I love the colours. Rob Nov 11, 2009 at 07:45 PM

abqstyle Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #13 · Strolling Thru New York City . . . Here are a few more pics shot in New York City near sunset going home from work. I shot these handheld with my Olympus SP-350, a three year old 8meg point and shoot. These were shot raw at 50 ISO F3.5 typically at aroubd 1/20-1/30 of a second. I like the look and colors I get from this pocket camera! After looking at my own photos I realize how much advertising we harried New Yorkers are assaulted with! Nov 11, 2009 at 09:37 PM

PhotoDes Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #14 · Strolling Thru New York City . . . I like everything about these -- the colors, the clarity, the garishness, although the first shot may be my favorite of the bunch. Maybe because I'm from Albuquerque, I feel the flashy lights are a bit outrageous (compared to the subtle beauty here in the desert). Nov 12, 2009 at 12:37 AM

abqstyle Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #15 · Strolling Thru New York City . . . I lived in Albuquerque for three years (hence the name ABQstyle) and Phoenix, Arizona for two. I had to move back to New York due to the recession's effect on my business. I am originally from New York and came back home with somewhat of a tourist's eye after being away for five years. The natural landscapes and big sky of the southwest are much better for the human soul than the man-made urban jungles of New York. I intend to get back to New Mexico asap. You describe NYC rightly PhotoDes, it is outrageous! One more Times Square pic: Nov 12, 2009 at 01:47 AM
