Very good and very interesting shots, wrogers! Were these all taken at the same store window? What store was it?
I can't remember if it was one store or two or exactly where I was. The picture taken just before these (an historic building marker) was in Manhattan near Lexington Avenue and 68th Street or so. The person or persons who did the displays made taking the pictures easier because of the window lighting used and things they selected.
Thanks for the friendly question. The software was Photoshop. Fixing the focus was the first step then the lighting and then cropping.
I've been taking photos for Thirty years. The reason for this bad photo (there have been some other ones) was a home owner glaring at me through a window and fatigue after walking with several heavy lenses and a Canon camera for several miles in the sun. But that's how I keep my weight down to 170 at six foot two at age 71 1l2. The lens I used is a 24 MM shift-tilt lens which does not autofocus. Old habits die hard. :)
