Most of the ride through Queens was above ground. So it was a neat opportunity to shoot buildings, trains, towns, etc below through the subway car's windows - even though the glass was pretty dirty. What was neat was traveling above neighborhoods and towns that looked like they've changed little in close to 100 years - so different than Manhattan. Will be spending much more time there on the ground on future visits...

I process all of my images in Adobe Lightroom and have been doing so exclusively since LR 2.0 was released a couple years ago; the current released version is 2.5. For the set of images I recently took in New York, including this one, I've been using LR 3 beta which was recently made available. For this photo I have the Blacks slider set pretty high; 68. And then bring up the mids to suit with the Fill Light slider. Exposure was set just to the point before highlights clipped. Clarity was set rather low (for me) at +4. Also added some subtle vignetting to draw the eye to the middle. Hope this helps! Thanks Brizo!

Just curious on the post processing of this image, as I only do slight exposure adjustments and am still learning different techniques. Again, great image! Great picture!
