I like your pic of the triborough (at least I think it's the triborough) a lot Das.

Very nice.

I know, I was lucky with that one. One of them's the owner of the bar: he's been there since the '60s, and the other guy is a regular who's probably been coming there for that long. The bar itself started out as a Prohibition time speakeasy.

I really like this one (and the two men at the bar). Have you ever played around with black and white? YouR grasp of contrast with color, I think, would be enhanced in B&W.

Awesome thread. It feels like home :)

Cross-posted in Mega Photography thread as well.

So I was on holiday in the USVI where they definitely do not export shells and coral. But the thing that I loved was how the old coral and shells became part of the rocks in some places. And in other places looked like bird bones and stone roses. Just a selection of what I saw on the beach there, a couple of the folks I made friends with and randomness.

First couple of things I saw:

Brain coral

Fish skin: the skin was mostly intact but the insides were lunch long ago

Conch shells

...I love how this one sort of looks like a bird bill

Some regulars by the pool and beach

Stone roses:

...the colours in some of these shells just seems so unreal

So, all the way in the USVI in a little back end town with some of the best Puerto Rican food I've had, and it turns out the owner/bartender of the joint and I have a friend in common

First time I've seen the Big J with a halo of thorns

Starting a new series. Some pics will be better than others. Shooting using ISO 800 equivalent with a Sigma 18mm-200mm, f=5.3 at full extension. Going hand held because someone nicked my tripod.
