I think this will be the last post that features photo’s I took recently in New York. Rather than show you the usual tourist haunts, I thought I’d take this opportunity to highlight some random shots taken around the streets of the Big Apple. You’ll see that I’ve experimented with my post-processing in a few of these images. Some have worked better than others too, no doubt… I don’t know, its late and really need to get to bed; you be the judge 
Canon 7D | EFS 10-22 & EF 24-105L | Program: Aperture priority | Handheld | Post: Lightroom and Photoshop
Above: Window and fire-escape. Cross processing and image border added in post.
Above: On the ferry ride out to the Statue of Liberty I saw this weary sugar mill along the foreshore. I’ve added the light-leak and grain during post-processing.
Above: I really quite like this one. After another big day of pounding the sidewalks, we ventured into this little hole-in-the-wall pizza joint… you know the sort – formica tables, poster/flyer laden walls. Kinda cool. I saw this couple walk in and order some take-away – click! Gotcha 
. Again, cross-processing, desaturation, film grain and image border all added in post.
Great series, Distan. I like the post processing you’ve done – visual stories…
Thanks again, Karen. I feel sometimes I don’t do enough practice with colour grading or cross-processing of my images. Particularly when I see some other peoples work and their images seem all the more interesting when done well. At other times, I think it gets overused and can cheapen images by making them look like a camera phone photo with an Instagram type filter applied (not that that’s bad; just common).
A real visual feast with your distinct viewpoint. Love it!
Thanks very much, James. I’m pleased that they’ve provided a little joy.
Some great shots Distan, Macy’s looks really cool, love buildings with detail like that.
Thanks Leanne, I quite like the first photo – mostly for their choice of type-face for the vertical ‘Macy’s’. It has an art-deco quality which compliments so many buildings in New York. It’s such a gorgeous city to wander around – endless inspiration.
I love that last shot!
Cheers Mike. The last shot was my excuse for this post
. I knew when I took how it would be processed and happily, it turned out as I hoped. I just needed to do some others so I could put up a series for a blog post 
Yeh, the last pic is my fave too! Though the old sugar mill has an appeal to it.
Thank you, Janina, too kind.
A great post and I really love the black and white ones !
Too kind, Jocelyne. Thank you very much.
