Gangs of New York

More from lurking about the tunnels in Central Park. I was torn between the above title and "Mall Rats in the Tunnels."

The weather has been gray and rainy much of the week. I'm over the dreariness, but the cooler weather in the summer has been nice.

Our 4th of July fireworks were rained out last night, though. They may do them tonight. I hope so in that I have a potentially awesome shot idea that I want to try.
Great shot...love the silhouettes! Wonderful capture. I have to tell you again how much I also love your profile photo of your silhouette in the window overlooking the city with camera in hand!!

Wonderful...I just love tunnel shots!
July 5th, 2013  
I forgot to say the title is great too!
July 5th, 2013  
Totally gorgeous shot - wonderful photo
July 5th, 2013  
haha nice play on the title from the movie. Cool shot. This is the tunnel where I shot Adam jumping in an X.
July 5th, 2013  
wonderful shot
July 5th, 2013  
Yes looks like a still from a movie real atmosphere to this
July 5th, 2013  
I love that you keep posting these. I wish there were more time in life... priorities priorities. Great shot.
July 5th, 2013  
very nice
July 5th, 2013  
I think the fact that you settled on Gangs probably describes the mall rats in any case. Great photo. I love the stark contrast, the lines and the perspective.
July 5th, 2013  
@michaelelliott I know. It looked longer in your photos. I actually tagged this the me tunnel. It was capital ME but it changed in posting.
July 5th, 2013  
Another great example of using silhouettes !Lovely tonal contrast and framing!Following you!
July 5th, 2013  
@squamloon I have to make the expensive trip worthwhile and ride of the photos for awhile. I got so many shots....how can you choose just 3 or 4. Thanks!
July 5th, 2013  
@michaelelliott I had thought that that was a selfie. That kind of jump is hard to do!
July 5th, 2013  
Very cool shot! Great B&W image.
July 5th, 2013  
This is a great capture and shot. they do look more like mall rats though with their shopping bags...:)
July 5th, 2013  
great title and mean moody photo.
July 5th, 2013  
Great capture,love the silhouettes!!
July 5th, 2013  
Hey, I just saw you photographing a field over there on Mason-Montgomery Rd. I was driving along minding my own business when I saw a van pulled in to an access road to the field with its blinkers on and I thought, "Hmmm...I wonder if that's a photographer," and then I saw you, shooting away. Sorry I couldn't stop and harrass you. Did you get good shots of something?
July 5th, 2013  
@sjoblues That is HILARIOUS!!! Love that you saw me and thought it was a photographer!
July 5th, 2013  
Fabulous shot, love the silhouette and setting. Love it
July 5th, 2013  
Fav Amanada! What a fantastic shot. Thanks for the check up. I just needed a little break. Missed you too much to stay away though.
July 5th, 2013  
I hope these guys /girls are nicer than those Gangs of NY in the movie! We have had a ton of rain, but it is great to have the less hot weather, as you say!
July 5th, 2013  
Fav This is way cool!
July 5th, 2013  
Perfect silhouette and fantastic title. Good luck with possible fire works.
July 5th, 2013

July 5th, 2013  
Great capture, love the shape and tone
July 5th, 2013  
Fav. Love this. Great silhouette shot
July 5th, 2013  
Cool. Love the processing xx
July 5th, 2013  
Kev
Tunnel shots are great aren't they? Liking this one. Fav.
July 6th, 2013  
Cool shot! I dig these and the contrast here is spot on! I wonder how long it will take you to process these all :)
July 6th, 2013  
@snaggy I LOVE them. Not enough tunnels around me, though. Central Park was chalk full of them. Loved it there. Thanks for the fav!

@rachelwithey Thank you so much for the sweet comment and fav, Rachel!!

@jodimuli U R awesome. Thanks, friend! Really appreciate the fav!

@witchyjacq Thanks so very much, sweet lady. Really appreciate your visit and fav!

@masosy Yeah that you came back for more fun. Thanks so much for the kind words and fav, my sweet friend!

July 6th, 2013  
@eyesmile Thanks, my friend. I was so glad that Michael thought to take it...and that he shared it with me, because, how cool is that?! I've got to admit, I was a little scared to sit on a small window ledge with 34 floors down and only some glass stopping me from falling to my doom. Glad that it held.
July 6th, 2013  
This is awesome. Great title too.
July 6th, 2013  
NIce capture. The silhouettes are neat.
July 6th, 2013  
Cool tunnel silhouette shot :)
July 6th, 2013  
I really love this one Amanda. That "gang" doesn't look so tough...lol Great processing and well seen.
July 6th, 2013  
@adamj Our gang was better. Perhaps I should have gone with the mall rats title. I waited by the tunnels for shots. I was a tunnel stalker. Thanks, Adam.
July 6th, 2013  
awesome shot Amanda! great composition and processing! what i like most about this is just contrast between light and shadow! looks a bit mysterious to me! fav!
July 6th, 2013  
cool shot with great comp and love the b&w
July 6th, 2013  
@wind_of_the_sothern_sea I love these types of shots, Arefin. Only I don't have any tunnels around me. Loved seeing the ones in Central Park and took full advantage of them. Thanks so much for your fav, friend!
July 6th, 2013  
Fabulous shot ! Great great black and white tones here Amanda - gorgeous!
July 6th, 2013  
@annethomson Thanks so much, Anne. I am a fan of tunnel shots.
July 7th, 2013  
@northy Did I get this one right? I had to make it b&w and contrast it up:).
July 7th, 2013  
@frida I'm mostly done with them. But then I think of another one to post and work a bit more. It's so fun, though. Thank you!

@jaynspain @alia_801 @grannysue @edie @psychographer @sugarmuser @tonydebont @espyetta @roseolivia @carolmw @june @bristolrose @pflaume @my_photofun @steff @twr @paul2782 @softbootsailer @zambianlass @kwind @eyesmile

Thanks so much, my friends. I used the same tunnel here that Michael and Adam have used numerous times before. I tried to change it up with my processing, though, and was pretty pleased with the result. So glad that you liked my mall rat gang, too. I wish I had tunnels in Ohio for more shots like this!
July 7th, 2013  
Oh YES! This is very cool and kinda sci fi in an apocalyptic sorta way :)
July 7th, 2013  
Fabulous! A fav!
July 7th, 2013  
@northy Glad you approve, my friend! Not my normal style, but I dig it, too!



@mcmary Aw, thanks so much for that kind word and fav, Mary. I loved Central Park!!
July 7th, 2013  
@amandal As I've told Michael, all I ever see in Central Park are rats! LOL
July 7th, 2013  
Lovely framing and silhouettes. Great image.
July 7th, 2013  
I love silhouette shots. Great!
July 7th, 2013  
Pea
This is very cool! Great shot
July 7th, 2013  
@mcmary Maybe I should have stuck with my mall rats title idea. How funny!

@wendywoo Thanks, kind lady!

@lbjefferies Me, too. I wish I could get more of them...no tunnels that I know of by me. Must come up with other ideas...Thanks for stopping by, Jeff!!

@deeganp Thanks, Miss Pea. I loved it!
July 8th, 2013  
awesome shot. love the silhouettes
July 8th, 2013  
@abhijit Thanks, Abhijit! I love tunnel shots!!
July 8th, 2013  
Fantastic execution! I love it!!!
July 8th, 2013  
@adamj I never realized that the shot of Michael's with the jumper was you. It was such a cool shot. That is a tough pose.

@istacy1011 Thanks so much, Stacy. I love these tunnel shots. Wish I had more tunnels by me.
July 8th, 2013  
@amandal What was tough, was having to jump up there like that about 10 times before Michael was satisfied!
July 8th, 2013  
@adamj Damn those big brothers and perfectionist photographers. I should go back and fav it for that.
July 8th, 2013  
They look like they are going somewhere with purpose. Love the silhouettes. Love the processing. Fav!
July 9th, 2013  
This is so impressive - the light - the silhouettes - the processing - fav
July 9th, 2013  
@thirtysevenways @kittikat Aw, you guys are great. Thanks so much for the faves. I loved this one, too!!
July 9th, 2013
