Walking home from a meeting downtown gave me a chance to take a few photos in and around Union Station, a grand old building that is the not-used-much train station across from the 'new' station (probably decades old but a modern looking structure). The original has amazing columns, portico, and grand stairway. Learning how to combine photos (HDR) helps capture the elegance and the details. Another image is in my main album - http://365project.org/taffy/365/2013-10-18.
Thanks to all who took my NYC skyline shot to #1 on TT. It's been an awesome day because of that!
You have captured the wonderful warm tones and rich textures in that amazing structure.The people really give the image a sense of scale.I really love your pov,too.
Love the grandeur of the older mass transit buildings. They are so impressive and even though they're massive, they are not "cold". Another great shot.
This is wonderful! Such a cool space from the era of grand train travel. (I was a commuter train rider and got to see the very tippy top of Julia Roberts' head when they filmed a scene for "While You Were Sleeping" in the great hall at Union Station.)
@nanderson Thanks so much Nancy! I use a tripod at night, but for this, I had to do handheld. I set my camera to shoot continuous for three shots and bracketed to shoot one f-stop up and down and just held as still as I could. Sometimes I'm more still than others so I was glad this one worked out.
