On this photowalk, I started in front of Grand Central Terminal. I thought the sculpture and clock on the front of the terminal would make a nice composition. However, I wanted to avoid any of the other surrounding buildings from showing up. To do so, I had to shoot it at a low angle, this helped create the black sky behind it.
If you've ever been to the Grand Central area, across from the south entrance is the Pershing Square Central Cafe. The green neon sign is featured in a lot of advertising for the area, and I had wanted to grab some shots of it. I took this low angle picture from curbside.
The famous four sided clock in Grand Cenral is a well known meeting point for people. The light in here was very difficult to meter for, so I ended up adjusting the "k" setting to get this to look the way it does.
Ever since my last shot of the Bryant Park fountain, I had wanted to get a closer look. Here it is framed with the American Radiator building in the background. I used a longer exposure to get the water to look the way it does below.
The blue and purple lighting in this building really caught my eye. I framed this with the steel pillar to the right, as it was reflecting the ongoing street scene. This added just the perfect hint of other colors.
The Empire State Building was lit all in blue on this night for Autism Speaks. This was shot from the concrete railing that encircles Bryant Park.
