afternoon delight

@northy and i had been planning on "subway hopping" with our cameras. we'd ride the subway and get off at a random station and shoot around the vicinity. today we finally went.

problem is it's the middle of winter and the low gray clouds were delivering snow flakes intermittently so there's been no dramatic lights.

taken on our first round just before hopping back on the subway. i was tempted to not convert it to black and white because after all it already looked like black and white. but i still did. then increased the highlights for a high key key effect to complete this week's assignment for the flash of red.

and for the song title challenge, here's the song by the starland vocal band: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fz1ex78QeQI he

The high contrast works really well. Totally striking shot.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I think it was the right choice to convert it to an official black and white. Great high-key. Wait till you see what I'll be posting today...

A terrific capture of the lacy patterns of the branches against the sky with the added bonus of the birds

This is an awesome high contrast shot with the birds as a bonus. I watched and listened to the youtube video. It was high tech for 1976 but were we really that cheesy then? LOL!
