Just a few images from my train ride from NYC to DC. A little bit of experimentation with editing – happy coincidence, really. I had to up the heck out of the blacks (pardon the technical talk) for the under-the-bridge shot and then wanted to see what those settings would have on the rest of the images. Not bad, I thought. And yes, these were shot from a very quickly moving train.
Today was really a lovely day. I woke up fairly early because that is how I generally roll. Headed up to the continental breakfast upstairs but didn’t see a single coworker, despite there being maybe 40 in this hotel. No matter, I trotted off quickly to B&H to peruse the camera gear because I am a masochist and know I can’t afford any of it. But I thought maybe I could find a funky camera strap or something. Instead, I picked up a hot shoe sync for my studio lights. Very helpful staff there, as always.
I’m back in NYC again for another work function. This time I’m all by my lonesome in the hotel room, but just about everyone in the union has come up to see our prez get some industry award. As always, I love New York. I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again here – I believe New York City is the most interesting place in America. If you can’t find something exciting to see and do in NYC, you can go ahead and define yourself as a stick in the mud.
