This was our last evening in Manhattan, New York. Last chance to photograph Times Square and of course, it had to rain. Still i had to shoot it, there where no tomorrow. I decided to do the processing a la Trey Ratcliff, from stuckincustoms.com. Here's one of his shots from Times Square: Not Lost in New York. After doing the processing and seeing the final result i realized...i was just being yet another copycat. Threw it out and did it my style. For you who haven't been to Time Square: its a major intersection in Manhattan at the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue. Stretching from West 42nd to West 47th Streets and its always full of life.

All of your New York photos make me want to get back there for another visit Bo. This is another nice shot. I think the rain added a nice touch to the image. The color is great! You captured it very well. Nice work... :)

Well, it may not have been what you were hoping for, but I think it turned out great. I like your composition better than your inspiration's - you did a great job capturing the night life.

The umbrella groupings of people are wonderful as is the vivid night time scene.

Well done! I think the rain adds to the shot as it makes it more unique. I like the blured taxi cab as it rushes past the people holding umbrellas.

Wow, this scene just waited for you to come along and photograph it. It matches your style perfectly! Another great one of you! Keep it up!

So much detail. That is a superb night shot. I can see so much hard work behind it :)

This is a classic, very well done. I love the motion captured in this photo as well as the people.

Jonas on June 12, 2008 13:19

Like Andy, I think the rain gives a special mood. People with black umbrellas, for instance, match here very well.

The rain, people, and motion blur make this image of such a frequently photographed setting more interesting than the other images I've seen. You've captured the feel of the place without resorting to overdone processing as in the style you say you almost copied. Love the compo/framing.

Nice capture. I've always been a fan of "New York'er" style photos. Full of life and stories.

Top notch!

i like this it feels very warm and welcoming.

Csaba/EyeVision on June 13, 2008 11:56

The umbellas make it real moody. I like it. Rain is always good for night shots in the city.

I like yours better. Beautiful night shot.

Excellent HDR night time image. Great lighting and details. Like the way you composed this shot, nice angle and perspective.

Seems a unique perspective on Times Square that I've not seen before. Which, considering the many views taken there, is odd. Good one.
