Bob's Pictures

Nice shots, rclary. I too like the steam, the drain, and the manly outline. Effective.
 
Cellphone cameras have reached a high level of quality. Your photos are proof of that.

Our daughter wanted an SLR, so we gave her one for her birthday last year. She has just started
to use it, and, like you, finds it heavy to tote around.

You'll need an SLR to do serious work but for convenience it's hard to beat today's iPhone. You never know when that interesting shot will appear.

This picture was taken at Asbury Park, NJ. All I had to do was shot.

Clouds add so much dimension to photos, as does steam/smoke. Without the clouds, it would still be a good photo, but without "mood" .. eg: white fluffy clouds vs dark storm clouds.

You've got a good eye for photography.

Thank you - and I agree: clouds, flog, steam or mist add mood to the photo. I like deep shadows, sometimes at the risk of being too gloomy.

Thank you.

I like getting people in my pictures. The combination of the human form and the architectural jungle, forming a dynamic drama, is what I like to capture with my photos. And then there are the exceptions like this photo I took of a deserted subway platform. This sterile and lonely place in the dark was too much of an opportunity for me to pass up. For me, when I look at this, I anticipate that a crowd of people will soon descent the steps and fill the place with weary commuters happy to be going home.

Cell phone cameras are amazing these days. That’s all I use and my photos don’t turn out half bad.
Nice pics Bob.
 
It is amazing the quality of the pictures you get from the iphone. For me, few opportunities are missed. Like these pictures while walking to and from work.

I like the mood of this one and the yellow boots (crossing William Street)

Among the surge of commuters a single man takes a break (next to Broadway)

Another picture in the rain on Wall Street.

I really like b/w photography. There's something about them that adds "mood" .. can't
explain it properly. The yellow boots and the vehicle headlights in the first shot is good.
 
Another commute photo - I liked the way the clouds reflect off the glass tower.
