Location

Time Square, New York

Time

This was a random day that I happened to be in Time Square. I usually avoid it because it's always crowded and I am always in a hurry. New York Minute! I'm a freelance graphic artist and could end up anywhere throughout NYC.

Lighting

I love using natural lighting to get achieve what I am looking for. In this case, our friend the Sun helped bunches. And from the look of the shadows, I'd say this was high noon. I'm very much an environmental photographer. I do very little retouching to my photos unless they are really dark or I prefer black and white.

Equipment

I have lovely Nikon camera. Living in a busy city, with a terrible back, I seem to rely on my iPhone to capture everyday life photos. In this case, I was successful.

Inspiration

Anything unusual and "in the moment". I will never hesitate to snap a few pictures of something I find interesting. And Yoga in Time Square, unexpectedly even, is perfect.

Editing

Yes. This was a color photo which I turned black and white. I edited the contrast and white balance as well.

In my camera bag

Nikon d3200, 2 to 4 lenses, mini tripod for long exposures. not much

Feedback

My successful shots usually come from being at the right place at the right time and from not being too much in a hurry to just stop. If something catches your eye, take the shot. It'll make you happier later on. Have fun!
