Central Park Walk

This is a particular favourite of mine. A wintery looking Central Park in New York with a dusting of snow that adds some real atmosphere. I also applied a slight HDR effect which has resulted in the almost painting like appearance.

Central Park Snow

Another image of Central Park in New York (see here for a different view). The covering of snow and broken clouds created some excellent light/dark contrast.

Beyond The Flatiron Building

Taken at dusk from the top of the Empire State Building. The Flatiron Building is in the foreground and the Manhattan Financial District stretches out behind. The view looking the other way is here.

New York, New York

Taken from the top of the Empire State building at dusk. The Chrysler Building is prominent as Manhattan can be seen lighting up. There was just enough light left in the sky to make the photo. The view looking the opposite way is here.

Sitting

I saw this woman sitting on a bench with her head obscured by the famous curving architecture of the Guggenheim Museum in New York. I masked the bench to keep it red whilst converting the rest of the image to black and white.

Watching

Taken looking down on two people watching the television at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The televisions and cushions formed a chill-out area for visitors. I took the image and inserted it back onto the television so they appear to be watching themselves.

Black and White conversion of an exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art New York. I’m not sure of the ethics behind photographing someone’s work or art, but I particularly liked this piece and the impact that it has.
