Ann, one of my favourite photo books is on NY night life and it's full of streets, neon and interiors over the years. Gorgeous. You may not appreciate it because you've lived there for a while, but it's iconic. I'd probably just go once as a tourist though. :-) On Mon, Nov 18, 2013 at 3:14 PM,

Wow! You really captured the night time hustle and bustle of the place beautifully. I was only there at night once and I'll never forget it. When I was younger I thought of Times Square as the centre of the universe - one place that probably everybody in the world has heard of and would

A nice portrayal of Times Square. I might have pulled the highlights down a bit more and boosted the shadows a little, but would have to see what you had to work with. Times Square has become a Disneyland for tourists, but I don't miss the bad old days. In 1980 one would be accosted by

Thanks, Paul. Exposure there was difficult, and used up every stop of DR. If I shoot there again, I'll use ISO 1600 instead of 3200, which would give me a bit more shadow room. The Toshiba sign is partly blown out, but a stop less exposure drowned the shadows in noise. Cheers, Rick On Nov
