I like these little peeks into your neck of the woods Kerry and night shots like these have so much ambience...

Not many people in that bar though :? Not many Irish dudes in the area???

Kerry beautiful work. For a moment then I thought it was Jaco's work :wink: Compositionally very strong with great colour depth.

How is the D200 going? Love to see more of your work using it, especially the the low lit street scenes :)

cheers and Happy New Year

I really like these Kerry. THe colours are fantastic and the composition is great. I like the snapshot aspect of them both.

Cant wait until I go to New York.

Great work Kerry, I think the first is my favourite the whole photographer taking a photo of someone taking a photo... btw what was she photographing ?? The OOF background has so many thing happening in it, the lights, people hurrying along the streets, its a great capture.

The second one I like, it it's almost odd to have no people actually in the room, while the lighting and no-doubt heating make the room cosy the lack of people inside gives me the sense of isolation and lonelyness.

Thanks for all of the kind comments. :D

Andrew: The bar shot was taken a little early. It was only about 1/4 full at the time of the shot and everyone was behind me. :)

Marco: I didn't have the d200 prior to this trip to NYC. Unfortunately, Detroit doesn't have nearly as much to offer, especially in the winter, with respect to these kinds of photo ops. I hope to be able to do something like this with the d200 soon though.

BBJ; Good luck with your high ISO attempts on the d2x. I'd suggest low contrast setting in camera and slight overexposure. Then bring exposure down in post. That should help a little with noise.

Matt: NYC is very cool for street photography. Lots of neat places to go. I think Chicago is quite similar, but don't know if Chicago has a Times Square type of place with all the brightly lighted signs.

Craig: The lady was snapping several shots of the bright signs there in Times Square. I think she was just reviewing a shot in this photo.
