outstanding. two of your best nyc shots, that's for sure, h.

I like the expression of the lady in the first, and I love the difference in expression in the second shot. The one on the left looks like she thinks you're an endangered species, the one on the right, well I think she's on to you and only pretends to read in her binder. Great shots, I really love the feel they give, mainly because of the good contrast and sharp light.

Both are excellent photos Harry.

I wonder what the lady was dealing with in the first one. You can tell she wasn't taking anything from anyone. I bet she was a veteran of the subway system.

The blond in the second on is almost disturbing with that cold stare. Did she know you were taking her pic & she wasn't happy? Or did you take the picture because of her blank look?

That sony was a great candid camera. I've actually been looking to buy another one. It's the camera that i miss the most. Great picture quality, swivel LCD & IR capabilities.

Thanks Andy and to think you were right next to me when I took those shots.

Thanks Andy and to think you were right next to me when I took those shots.

the blond lady was looking at me... geez you'd think it's strange that a guy eats bbq ribs on the subway? :eat



:lol3

[lynnma]

Great shots Harry..bet Andy got rib gravy all over ya..:rofl

[Angelo]

Yea, the Bronx! My home town.

I see you've always been into birds, huh? :uhoh

Great shots Harry. Love that you have 2 ladies with very blank stares that can convey a host of feelings.

Thanks. The NYC subways were an ideal place to shoot candids. The second shot shows the two most common ways of dealing with the intrusivenss of riding the subway. The lady on the left has the blank NYC subway stare which looks at the scene yet avoids eye contact. The second is to look at a book or newspaper but not really read what you arre looking at.

Great shots Harry!

I remember the 2nd from a while back on STF. How long ago was it? See the impresion it left on me!

[gus]

The womens faces in the 2nd are about as good as it gets for me harry....nice shades.

Hi Dave,

The Transit worker in the first pic was fielding questions, complaints, and unsolicited comments on a delay in service on the 2 line. She had no answers or info to provide andwas proud of it.

They two women in the second shot had no idea I was taking the shot. I was in stealth mode with the 717 on my lap. I took the shot because they were perfect examples of how folks dealt with the indiginites of riding the subway duirng rush hour. One looking w/o seeing or making eye contact and the other just trying to block it out

[ehughes]

Both excellent shots Harry, didn't you win a potd with the 2nd one?

That would explain her expression. :rofl

Thanks Lynn. The splashes from the rib sauce off of Andy's ribs was a daily hazard. Its much easier in Florida where I only have to watch out for gators and fire ants. :haha

[ginger_55]

Great Bird shots, Harry.

Those two in the second shot, they come from the same lineage, I am sure.

Thanks Angelo. I worked in the S. Bronx and Baychester portions of the Bronx while I was living in the Kingsbride section for a number of years.

Hey Nir,

Gosh that was at least a year ago, probably a bit more.

[Harryb]

The womens faces in the 2nd are about as good as it gets for me harry....nice shades.
Thanks. As soon as I saw them I knew that I had to get a few snaps in, they were just too perfect.

[Khaos]

The exposure on the second one is excellent. Nice.

Hey Ed,

Thanks. Yeah that second one got POTD on one of the sites (can't remember which one). If memory serves me right you had a POTD in another category on the same day. :thumb

Thanks. The 717 was such an excellent tool for getting those kind of shots.
