Awhile back, John-Paul Palescandolo, one of this site’s contributors went on a tour of some abandoned subway sections of New York City. Becoming a member of New York Transit Museum is a great opportunity for those who have further interest in this area of history.
John-Paul ended up with a wonderful original capture of the main archway of the Old City Hall station stop, with all of the vibrantly-colored tilework, except for one problem – there was a wooden ramp in view, something that he had no control over. Well, he did what any good photographer would do, which is try to get the best possible shot anyway.
Difficult lighting situation here – Canon EOS 5D using the Canon 24/1.4L @ ISO 400. Image was captured hand-held at about 1/15 sec.
After the RAW processing, we come away with an image that is technically quite good. Here you are:
