Thank you. Very keen observation. I am afraid I hadn't noticed the "cup". Anyway, I wouldn't know how to "get rid" of it, It was quite dark in the early morning. I was concerned with getting the central details sharp, and supported by the surrounding. Hadn't notice the cup at all. But, in my humble opinion, I think it rather adds to the pic, in this case, although I wouldn't want a plastic up at the foot of a tree.
Thank you. It was a lowlight shot, even with the sunlight streaming in. I like it in B&W; it seems to give a sense of simplicity and a sense of being in the thick of it, of being enclosed. I think so, anyway.
Thank you. She didn't order any drink and didn't notice me at all. The lighting was from Coffee and Bean. My 65 year old IIIf did a decent job with the HP5 400.
Replaced original photo with correctly-processed version.
Taken in the evening after a Tiffany & Co. marketing event was held in the center of this oval structure. The Tiffany wording is a sign not yet removed from the area.
I saw the snoopies tumbling down the escalator earlier. Set my camera up and waited for a vehicle to pass by. Double-decker buses won't do. It turned out to be a FedEx truck. Couldn't be better. Thank you.
Thank you. I remember the days when we used to sit down along the side-walk, sat on a low stool and got served hot soup noodle. Hardy women, they moved the store by carrying the whole thing using a bamboo pole.
The bottom of the escalator is made of reflective metal, showing the floor pattern. The hard part was to catch those people, especially the legs. I was shooting film, so I could not afford too many attempt. Just did it for fun. Glad you like it, though.

M10 with modified Adobe Standard profile as described in post #18 in this thread. I struggled with what I felt was over-saturation of the standard LR profiles (especially the M10 profile) but have been quite pleased with this one.

Well, may be you are right. People in Chinatown plays the Chinese chess on a board like this. The game has the same characters as Western chess - knight, pawn, king etc; no queen. The chess pieces are flat, unlike western chess. I did wonder whether they wee playing GO, but the shape of the pieces would be different.
Anyway, I see Chinese chess played here often. You do look carefully.
Thank you. Shot at f2, the shallow depth-of-field can still be seen. Fortunately, there were window lights coming in; the grunginess of the wall was inherent.
