EXIF:     Aperture Priority, Pattern Metering, EV 0, 1/2 sec, F/18, ISO-1600, 18 mm (28 mm equivalent)
Camera/Lens:     Canon EOS 350D Digital Rebel XT, Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6
Location:     Soho, New York, NY
Notes:     I really couldn't decide if I liked this better in color or black and white, so you get both.

Tripod courtesy of the parking meter on the side of the street. Thanks also to this cab driver who slowed down so I could take this picture!

Update: Here's an alternate crop based on Joyce's suggestion. I thought I liked all that empty space in the front, but now seeing the crop I think the photo is more balanced and the interesting part (to me, the stars) really comes out.

I didn't think I liked the b&w as well until I noticed that all the street lights looked like stars. I suggest cropping out the bottom portion and a slice of the left side so as to eliminate the trash in the gutter. That's a little distracting. Maybe crop off a tiny bit of the right side too and the "stars" will really shine.

Wow, I just realized that you have a color AND a B/W blog running at the same time. Very clever and dedicated! It was neat clicking backward in unison and seeing your different take on things.

I ALSO just realized you're a local Ms.Philadelphia.. I'm right over the Bridge in Cherry Hill.

Brad, these separate photoblogs are going to be short lived. I love doing it, but it's twice the work and I don't think I can keep it up much longer. I'm probably going to be switching to a single photoblog shortly.

(BUT, I'm really glad you liked seeing both and it made me wonder if maybe I shouldn't collapse them after all.)

And yes, I live in Philly now (previously Baltimore). But I'm often posting photos from wherever I have been most recently, so it's probably hard to tell where I am. (It's probably easier to tell here.)
