Times Square-Night

Hi Gerald,
I've never been to Times Square, but what I do like about the pictures of it are all the colors and neon signs. Your B&W treatment seems to take that away. From the small size, it looks sharp with nice motion blur of the cars. Do you have a larger color version you could share?

Thanks for sharing this one,
Chris

I dig the B&W version. Looks good and adds to the grity city look.

I enjoyed having a look at your gallery. I had forgotten how well B&W works for night shots. I have to dig out my B&W negs from long ago and see what I have.

Thanks for sharing,

Yeah, B&W can say things color can't in certain situations. I saw some of yours, really nice, the desert ones -that was the folder I was looking at. Are those film shots? If so, what was the film?
I shoot Kodak 3200 speed sometimes. It's great for that gritty look, and is so fast that at night, in areas with a reasonable amount of light, you can get good handheld shots and with good depth of field 'cause the aperture can be stopped down so much due to the film's high speed.
Anyway, here's to B&W!
