About This is a crop of my earlier ESB photo, placing emphasis on the foreground lamp and buildings instead. I dodged the buidling behind the lamp to restore its detail.
I'm aware that the lamp is crooked, but if I straightened it, it would upset my abiliy to include the street sign below.

Hi Paul, Although I'm normally a fierce opponent of tilts, I think this shot is the exception to the rule. It adds a certain dynamism that is very fitting to both the scene and atmosphere. The tilt only works with this camera angle, where no horizon is included. No worries there...;-) It creates a very '90s feel of Graphic Design. (Could've used this shot very well a few years' back...)

Thanks for adding the description of what you did to the original. Very informative. I'll have to do that more often.

Cheers,

Hugo

Hi Paul, not to worry about the lamp being crooked, it works with this one anyway! This is a really neat photograph, very 'artsy' looking.
I like the white windows in the left side, where you cannot see any building! Great effect! Nice work!

Lori :)

A stunningly creative nightscape, makes me want to go out on the town tonight, exceptional work.

Paul,

I like what you have done with this image. A little snip here and there and now you have a very nice composition. Good work. Now the soft ESB is just a pleasing background, instead of the main element of the composition.

Wow. This takes me back home again. It's been a long time. I like the angle of the lamp post. A moody, evocative shot.

Hi!,,,Paul : Very Dramatic Lighting! ,,I agree with Hugo, However My Comment, is that the Photograph, Impacts the viewers eye, with a Scene, almost of reality, of looking through a Window, into the Street!!!
Best Regards:
Jeff.
Thank you,Paul! for your comment!.....Jeff!!!

A real 'Dark City' or 'Matrix' feeling comes through this. Tilted - yes, but hardly mattering here. Great highlights off the street lamp and buildings. Regards

Great picture, in your comment on my picture of old Djanet,you wondered if i took it in the evenig, yes i did,in desertcountries you get the best light at sunset.

I like this one better because the emphasis is on the light post. I like how its light is bringing it out of the darkness.

Well done...


Jeanette Hägglund   {K:59855} 4/5/2004
Wow, same here - a modern Hopper. Fantastic shot. Of course Manhattan. :)
Jeanette


Paul Lara   {K:86876} 4/5/2004
Wow, Jeanette, thanks.
Yeah, I was very happy with 'the look' that this shot was yielding, and it wasn't until you mentioned it, that the similarity clicked.

I'm flattered and inspired at once!
