I decided I hadn't had enough of the big city as I headed home from New Jersey after Thanksgiving, so I headed for Lincoln Center rather than home after I crossed the George Washington Bridge. After a cup of coffee and finished with the Times, I headed for Central Park and points beyond for a walk and some photography. Here are three of the pictures from that walk. All were taken with an M7 and a 28mm Elmarit on BW400CN. Central Park. This gigantic "rock" is actually a piece of the ledge that makes all those tall buildings in Manhattan possible. Only a bit of perspective correction, levels and cropping done. http://gallery.leica-users.org/NYC/03_30A_0262_web Lincoln Center. Again just some perspective correction, levels and cropping done. The Shadow/Highlight command that I used to pull the blacks up a bit also brought up some grain, unfortunately, but I still like the result. http://gallery.leica-users.org/NYC/02_20A_0117_web Shooting and chimping. One quick shutter click and everyone moved into really un-photogenic positions. No second chance. http://gallery.leica-users.org/NYC/04_24_0087_web Comments encouraged as always. -- Regards, Dick Boston MA
