Shiny New York City (Times Square)

This photo, captured in New York City’s Times Square, highlights the bright shiny chrome and glass of Times Square illuminated by supersized LCD billboard displays. I captured this image at twilight using a Canon 10D and Tamron 19-35mm lens. I highly recommend the Canon 10D to anyone looking for a low cost but full-featured used DSLR camera (the body typically sells for less than $200). It is a sturdy camera with image quality that remains competitive. The Tamron 19-35mm is an affordable (typically under $100 used) older wide-angle lens that is sharp and a perfect match for the Canon 10D. I edited this image in raw mode using DXO 6. A mild one-image HDR effect was applied in DXO 6 to increase the contrast in this image.
