HOW I WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE NYC IN ALL IT'S BEAUTY

The moment of meshing came for my love of digital photography, and a profession as a limo driver. Performing this position,have taken me many, many, places, in addition to New York City, but nowhere as pretty, All photos have been taken by me, and are copyright © Eric Heifetz . For the most part, my pictures are not straight from the disc to the hub. Being somewhat proficient in Photoshop, I make any necessary repairs to the photo. NEVER will I add something nor change a picture, BUT, I might remove a wayward high tension wire to help the picture Sometimes I brighten colors and increase saturation, or sharpen it a much as practical . All for a nicer ( in my opinion ) photo. While some photos may be recognizable to you, others wil be non-discrete areas that caught my eye, and I fired the camera, A number of pictures were actually taken while driving, though never with passengers in my car. Others were taken while waiting for a customer. I usually could not be in a desirable spot, so I had to make the best of where I was. Stop by periodically to catch up on newly uploaded photos.
