Come and photograph the majestic Grand Central terminal -- capture all of the details in the shadows and highlights with HDR photography! We have special permission to use tripods during this five hour workshop.

On March 6th  we will meet at 9:30 am at GCT and then you will be shooting from 10am until 3pm. Tom and I will be helping you with compositions, checking exposures, etc. You will be taking 3-10 exposures in order to capture all of the details in the shadows and highlights. Meet at 9:30am outside of the station master's office, there is an area to the left of the SMO. The SMO is the customer waiting area with the glass doors on the upper level of the terminal, at the top and just to the right of the escalators on the west side of the building (near tracks 34/35 and the Transit Museum store.

As an added benefit for attending this workshop you are entitled a video where I will process and edit one of your HDR series. Send your series of RAW files to me via this link. I will tonemap the exposures and then edit the processed image in Photoshop, recording each step as I go along in voice and capturing cursor movements and send you the video to watch and learn and pause and rewind as needed. I cannot guarantee that I will process the image the same way that you would have, but you are bound to learn more about photomatix and photoshop by watching me process your images.

We will also be offering a separate optional post-workshop workshop to demonstrate Photomatix, the most popular HDR processing software. http://www.meetup.com/Image-Enhancement/




This was from a recent article -- GCT is turning 100

"Grand Central Terminal, the doyenne of American train stations, is celebrating its 100th birthday. It made its debut in the heyday of cross-country train travel, faced demolition in the era of the auto, and got a new lease on life with a facelift in its eighth decade. Opened on February 2, 1913, when trains were a luxurious means of traveling across America, the iconic New York landmark with its Beaux-Arts facade is an architectural gem, and still one of America's greatest transportation hubs."

"It is also the Big Apple's second-most-popular tourist attraction, after Times Square.

"We are among the top 10 most-visited sites in the world," boasted Dan Brucker, manager of Grand Central Tours at Metro-North Railroad, the commuter rail service that operates from Grand Central. "Every day more than 750,000 people come through Grand Central Terminal - that is the entire population of Alaska that walks through here every day. It is the entire population of the state of North Dakota," he noted."
