West Broadway Windows

This is shot facing East, between 7:00 and 7:30 am, so the morning sun is behind these buildings.  The speckled light you see is reflected off of the windows of the buildings across the street and bounces back to hit these buildings.  You can see parts of the other buildings in some of the windows above, so there are two sets of reflecting windows at play here.  Sometimes, when the angles of the sun and the buildings are just right, you can get a back-and-forth speckled effect on both sides of the street, but that wasn’t at happening here.  This is the first image published from my photo walk in TriBeCa on Sunday.

Jim Denham - I think it’s cool that the reflections from across the street have more color than the buildings in front of the camera. Makes for a nice effect.September 2, 2010 – 9:15 am

DARYL (BUTCH) BUTCHER - Mark: I grew up in a big town of 400. (Some people were double counted and some household pets included.) Big cities make my skin crawl but you are finding wonderful subjects. If you get up to Boston, I’ll bet those thousands of brick buildings with absolutely no window blinds would make for interesting subjects. I was always struck by the views available “right through” buildings in Boston. For some reason a culture of “no blinds, curtains or shutters, took hold in the city. Great HDR opportunity also because of the dramatic range of illumination.September 2, 2010 – 3:03 pm

Michael Tuuk - I love the various colors in the reflectionsSeptember 2, 2010 – 9:56 pm

mark - Jim and Mike, I’m glad you both picked up on the colors in the reflections.

Butch – wow, that means a lot. Thanks. And I’ll have to check out Boston eventually when I have free time. Ha.September 2, 2010 – 11:08 pm

Nancy Lehrer - Indeed, the colors of the reflections make the shot for me. I’ve noticed this particular characteristic of hdr on window reflections too. Wonderful image.September 5, 2010 – 1:02 pm
