NYC: The Peepshow

[BottomBracket]

Like moths to a flame. Mid-Manhattan, West Side, a week ago.

your photos never cease to amaze me.. i love the feel of this shot and the PP... the lighting on the guy to the left of the window is great. love the whole thing.

Thanks leitch for looking and the comment.

I have two versions of this photo. The first one is the darker, moodier one of the two. This next one has a bit more saturation - the colors in real life scream a gaudy pink-fuschia shade that really makes it stand out from the dark. Here's the second one, which is better?

Hey BB! I know you went in there for a little peep show I bet. =) Nice shot!

Hey Pio
I thought the 1st one was really good, like the 2nd one even more!
Take care
Etienne

nufan, I'll try to make a photo that is somewhere in between, let's see how that works.
jdizzle, what who me, go inside one of those establishments? No way, well at least not recently. LOl!
Etienne, thanks!
Thanks for looking and for the comments, much appreciated.

really liked the first until you posted the second pio, I think it better represents the seediness and colour of this kind of porn. Love the framing and exposure.

Hey BB! I like the color on the second one kind represents the peepshow thing more than the first one. But both are nice.

[BottomBracket]

Roger, ngork, thanks! The original scene really had this garish hot pink lighting scheme. The original photo looked like it had terrible white balance, but that's really how it was!

Though I like colors, this time the first is for me, I can feel the mood there. - Yeah, why not to pop in ...

[Etienne]

Hey Pio!! It's been a week!! When are you going to post another picture!?! :lol:
I just had another look at these two, still think they are wonderful.
Take care
Etienne

Hey Pio, I was just looking through some of your recent posted pictures and I'm simply amazed at how you've processed them. Not only are the pictures well executed, the work digital work done to them makes them that much more effective. I don't know how you do it, but each picture seems to tell a story, thousands of pages long.

Between the two, I'm personally a fan of the second because I think the brilliant color is a good contrast to the overall lack of light on the people.

Don't stop taking awesome pictures.

By the way, I live in Hoboken now so I'm only a train ride away from Manhattan. I haven't really taken pictures lately, only ones were just posted in the Transportation forum.

Thanks for looking and for the comments, all.
Olli, you mean pop into the establishment? I'm sure cameras aren't allowed there.
Etienne, you are so kind. I will be posting again soon :)
Chris! It has been a long time, we should get together soon, along with Mark. Now that you are nearer it should be easier to meet. Thanks for the kind words - I do believe that Iam evolving as a photographer, developing a style that best expresses my vision. I am still in search for that perfect photograph, which I know will never come. Keep in touch!

Thanks for looking again all.

Maybe not a good idea to visit that, as you know for guys like us the first priority is to carry the camera everywhere and after that comes other hobbies ... :cool:

[BottomBracket]

Lol Olli! Well I guess some people probably have this as their hobby. Good thing the photo offers the men a bit of anonimity.
