Times square rush by ~billysphoto This is a solid City life shot, and while city life and street are quite different, I found myself drawn to the people standing motionless as the world speeds off around them. This shot definitely has some street in it, and i couldn't pass up a really nice shot of times sq! ( Suggested by robinism and Featured by straightfromcamera )

it's not?!?!

it's screaming photoshop!! dude.... for real

+ u should read this: [link] concerning your watermark....

gerdez Featured By Owner Sep 28, 2009 Hobbyist Photographer

by few you mean... all the way... right? like 4 full stops or more? The problem is that the buildings look very awkward and light by the toned down sky.

billysphoto Featured By Owner Sep 29, 2009

i know that. i do have an updated version of this. more careful work un edges for buildings and etc. ill have to update it later.

Great job! I love that the cars and everything are in motion, but not the people. Definitely how I feel when I'm in Uptown.

Very beautiful! This picture is from a year ago right? Anyways, I'd like to get some photography help from you! Was the original setting very bright? Because 1/3 and f22 should produce a pretty dark picture am i right? But here it was perfect! I'm a beginner photographer and would love to learn how u managed to do this! Did it take more than one try or did u just know the right settings? PLEASE AND THANKYOU!

Gtee Featured By Owner Nov 27, 2008 Photographer

very nice i like the shadows in the sky and the burst of yellows coming
from the famous taxis
i guess this was shoot at a very high shutter ?
get back to me
i like the effect it produces

billysphoto Featured By Owner Nov 27, 2008

i think this was around 1sec exposure!

Forgot to say this in my previous post, so my apologies for double posting. I know the lyrics I mentioned aren't meant to be taken literally but they were the second thing that came to mind when I saw the photo, almost immediately after "whoa". Favorite!

Cherry3 Featured By Owner Apr 15, 2008 Hobbyist Writer

This looks fantastic - great colors, awesome effects, gorgeous lighting...& I love the contrast of the moving traffic against the people standing still. And maybe I'm just obsessed but for some reason, this photograph reminds me of the song One Step Closer by U2. Don't know if you've heard (of) it but there's this particular line that goes: "I'm on an island in a busy intersection / I can't go forward now, I can't turn back". Awesome.
