Grand Central Station, NYC

It really is grand, and filled with photo ops. There are hallways to explore, and the grand concourse, of course (sorry) with its magnificent ceiling. Several years ago I was in a NYC workshop which included a tour of GCS. I still shoot there from time to time.
There’s an Apple Store right in the station, an easy bus and train ride for me. I had to drop my laptop off for a repair, and decided to play with higher ISOs and slow shutters while I was there. I used my Sony RX100vi, which was under discussion a couple of times this last week. Adjustments were done first in LR, then in PS, but the only denoise program used was in LR.
#1 f2.5 1600 ISO 1/125
#2 f2.5 4000 ISO 1/125
#3 f11. 320 ISO 1 sec
#4 f8. 320.ISO. 0.5 sec
With #4, which was heavily cropped, I used the quick selection tool and had PS find the subjects. I then lightened those subjects, just because I felt like it.

Nice series. It reminds me of 30th ST. Station in Philadelphia.
I seen that staircase in #3 & #4 in movies.

Been there a few times in my younger years. A beautiful building, but my God, it can get crowded!

When I was in New Mexico, more than 15 people to an acre was a crowd in some areas.

Very nice shots David. I haven't been there in years, and there were a lot more people the last time I was there.

It was the middle of the morning. Still, though, even the commuting crowds are diminished.

During the 20 plus years I commuted through Grand Central I was too rushed to notice any details.
You've captured its beauty very nicely.
Thanks for posting

I like this photo as some of the people are moving- slight blur. Nice work
