Love this one! Very dynamic.

Heh. Love the composition here. Nice!

 

[CaliAnn]

Great shots. I absolutely LOVE the wall street one - makes one wonder what they're all looking at - super cool!

The glass tower is 17 State Street next to Battery Park. Our Lady of the Rosary is the lower building (19th century). A nice blending of old and new architecture.

That subway shot is excellent.

One of a number of uninviting doors that populate Lower Manhattan. Some may not have been opened in decades.

Another commute into the office. For now only one day a week so I have to keep my eye open for subjects. I got three yesterday.

 

[ZenDruid]

I like #2!

 

[CaliAnn]

Love that first one a lot!

 

[Artyczar]

All are great!

Looking up at the intersection of William and Wall Streets.

Wow, that perspective is dizzying!

My initial intention was to tint this photo but had little luck using water based paints. So I tried using a product called Distress Ink with better success. I just wanted to enhance the subject but not overwhelm it with color. I like the final product and I already have a number of photos that may benefit from tinting.

Nicely done! You captured a great moment here, and it turned out well.

Is this a silver gelatin print? You mention water-based paints and then this other ink product that I've not heard of. I like this hint of blue. Curious about your substrate.

Thanks - I don't believe this is a silver gelatin print as I get my photos developed at CVS. It had been recommended to use matt finish prints (which take a few days for delivery) as opposed to glossy prints which are usually ready in an hour.

Ah, okay! I wasn't thinking in terms of a CVS type place. So you can order machine prints there, and they'll let you choose the paper surface.

You're right about the glossy finish - it will repel liquid.
