which meaning of “Shot” I might see…
Just another example of English being not the easiest language to learn.

Good NYC images David. You are an early riser!

Had to get the oil and filter changed before the president came to town and stopped all the traffic in my area.

Sorry, the photo didn't post.
Being from Australia, you would not know.
When the president comes to town, traffic is frozen in any area where he is anticipated during the next half hour...sometimes more. A real pain.

The last couple of days we've had beautiful, clear dawns. Walking into the rising sun, though, was painful.
The first two were taken yesterday; the others this morning.
The kids are no longer going to school in the dark.

Thanks all. Sorry about the typo. I had to look up the date, which is 1883, when I posted. Sloppy.

I was sitting across from the bar at a Greek restaurant yesterday. This gentleman is there every evening for a single glass of wine.
Because of the distance between my camera and him, in order to keep the ISO "down" to 6400, I had to shoot from my lap at f/4 and 1/20 with my Sony RX100. When I used DeNoise, I checked only low light.

No rain or snow scheduled for this morning so I decided to play tourist and took a bus and a train to walk up on the Brooklyn Bridge.
Built by John Roebling, it opened in 1893 as a hybrid cable-stayed suspension bridge, and was the first fixed crossing of the East River. It was during its construction that Caisson Disease (the bends) had to be addressed for the first time. 20 men died from it, and many others suffered permanently from the decompression sickness.
The first four images are walking towards Brooklyn. The next two are some of lower Manhattan that one can see walking back towards the subway. The green culo is the Woolworth building. The freedom tower, which is on the other side of Manhattan, can be seen to its left. The gold statue, 30 feet high, and facing away from the statue of liberty, is on the Municiple building, which was built after the five boroughs comprising NYC combined in 1898.
The 4 image pan is across from the foot of the bridge and is what one sees coming and going on the subway.
The dreamer and the squinter are just a couple of shots I grabbed while on the train and waiting for the bus.

Thanks, everyone. I'm glad you enjoyed them. Drizzle and dark skies give interesting opportunities.

BTW that is colorful footwear you were sporting.
Just making a statement, Mike.

Had a little time yesterday on my way to a haircut, so I decided to get off the subway (we say train) one station early to walk down Park Av.
To get to the train, I had to take the bus, where 3 (look carefully) people sheltering from the rain made sure they were up to date on important things.
It wasn't raining heavily, but it was dismal. The Starbucks window stood out from the gloom. Then I had to take a couple of selfies with the help of the statuary. On the way home I observed a couple of construction workers observing the scenery.
Finally, that's York Avenue looking south before the traffic gets heavy, although on a Saturday, it rarely is. Finally these corner markets are always busy, some of which stay open all night.

And I enjoy showing what life is like around the city. Thanks everyone for your kind remarks.

Although there is a theme of unpleasant weather.
The first two I took yesterday before the evening showers, and after the morning rain. The next two I took through my windshield while driving to Bucks County this morning to have breakfast with my daughter. I think the birds might've been grounded by the fog.
It wasn't supposed to rain until this afternoon. Well, I guess light drizzle is not rain. The fifth shot is at one of the oldest cemeteries in Pennsylvania. The snow evaporating created quite a bit of ground fog.
The penultimate shot…well, it doesn't really need any explanation. The last shot is just before I got on the bus to get home. (I had to drop the car off so that my wife, the hard worker, would not have to take public transportation home. That's my job.) By the time I got home, the drizzle had changed to rain.

The first image shows that the city was diligent in laying down a good supply of salt on the esplanade before and during our three-quarter inch snowstorm. The next images were minutes or seconds before sunrise. You can see the sun reflecting off the buildings far downstream, where the East River takes a turn to the southeast. The three image pan (SOOC) shows the sunrise, and the remaining images suggest that it was a good morning for golden light. The shadows were deep. The air was very clear.
