Chrysler Building and Street Lamp
Chrysler Building and Street Lamp. New York City. August 18, 2011. © Copyright 2011 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
Black and white photograph of the Chrysler Building and a lamp post in New York City.
Yes, we are in New York City. Needless to say, this is a “target rich environment” for street, urban, and architectural photography. This familiar building is the first post from this trip. It is a black and white photograph for a couple of reasons. First, this turns out to be one of those photograph where I like both the color and black and white interpretations. Second, and more practical, I am working from an uncalibrated monitor and can’t be certain what the colors will look like. With that in mind, it seemed like a good idea to post the BW images first!
The Chrysler Building is an easily recognized Manhattan landmark… especially if you saw “Ghostbusters.” We were out for a “first morning in New York walk” on our first full day here, and the area around this nearby building seemed like a decent objective.
(On a practical note: As with the color calibration issue, I’m not in my usual workflow environment while on the road, so don’t be surprised if some things don’t look exactly like they normally do.)

Great “old school” look in black and white. Love the sun glinting off the windows and the NYPD stamped on the overhead box. I could only hope for some of your gorgeous nightime images from this beautiful city!

Thanks, Richard. I’d love to do real night photography here sometime, but I am traveling light w/o tripod and shooting hand held. Still might try some high ISO street stuff.
