  • Cold and Pretty

    Picture of the Month (February 2023)

    February can be very cold, as we had three days of Arctic temperatures in the North East. But, it can be pretty. Especially when the sun is out and about at a lower level on the horizon. Here is where you get the calid colors in the late afternoon. (Just the colors, the air is still freezing …)

    Sun comes down for a winter sunset in Central Park, Manhattan

    And, as you can see, Central Park is always a great place to spend an afternoon and take a picture or two.

  • New York Skyline

    Picture of the Month (January 2023)

    I usually, that is about 99.8% of the time, do not modify the pictures I take to look differently from what I saw. I do not add lightning, or change the sky, or abuse the editing tools available in Lightroom or Photoshop. The idea is to represent what I see in a truthful manner.

    Having said that, I had a “what if” moment when editing this cityscape from lower Manhattan. I decided to manipulate the color of the sky to make it a little more dramatic. I like the result very much. I just don’t plan on doing this more often 😊
