A daily scene in NYC

My city is many things, some not so pretty, except the light often attracts me anyway.
I was early for a morning appointment at 37th and 1st Avenue, the Murray Hill neighborhood, so I walked under the FDR to the East River. The first looks at Long Island City. I then walked about 50 feet to the beginning of the FDR underpass and took the 2nd and 3rd just by turning around.
That’s your geography lesson for now.

I enjoy your photos along the East river. My wife and I used to visit a friend that lived at Waterside Plaza and I would get up early in the morning amble along the river.

You better let them know the LIC is in Astoria, NYC, not Long Island. Nice pictures. We are now residents of NH. We still kept the house in the mid-'70s In the Eastside for city fixes. The city is becoming a cesspool.

Interesting photo treatments. I like all three.
I like the 2nd one best for content, but not the color treatment.
I really like the color treatment of the third one and think that applied to the second photo would make that my favorite.
All are good.

This was a backlit shot, exposed for the sky. What you were looking at is minimal treatment: opening up the shadows in Lightroom after increasing the exposure just a bit, then dropping highlights until the sky appeared as I remembered it.
You are welcome to correct (PS?) the photograph as you would like, then show it to us.

Hi John,
To be accurate, Astoria is within Long Island City, controversial parlance as that is. They share the same sequence of ZIP codes, etc. They are in Queens, which is the county on t'other side of the East River, which, shown so ably here, on the Long Island Land Mass. The Long Island counties or NYC, boroughs after the 1890's consolidation, are Queens and Brooklyn. Populations of about 3Million each--larger than all of just a few US or in fact world cities on their own. Remaining on Long Island are the suburban counties of Nassau and Suffolk. is Long Island as a whole, does not have an official Political designation within NY State. It is however a very significant land mass, and does supply an important agricultural and sea food portion of NY's daily consumption and beyond. There is also significant light manufacturing throughout the island, and a heavy electronics and Aerospace industry. The Grumman Co. was a major contractor producing the Apollo Lunar Lander, alongwith many of tus US Navy's airplanes that won WWII.
I was born there, lived there and sold Computers there from the 1940's through the 1960's.
Great photos and a great example of using shadows and contrast to reveal and conceal. There's need for plenty of both in NY.
