    Title or Location: Coventry Cathedral Priory and Undercroft
    Coventry Cathedral itself was destroyed in a firestorm after being bombed durint WWII. Amazingly though, this medieval and tuodor structure survived despite its very close proximity.I was there on a dull and cold day, typical British summer. The sjies were flat and gray, so no features there. So I tiik it to mind to convert a coolour image to monochrome in Photoshop, having rpocessed it fairly basically in Lightroom first.Not all images work in monochrome but I thought this would.Thank You

    The Brooklyn Bridge with the Empire State Building as viewed from DUMBO. I've been to NYC once before but this was my first time since starting photography. When I learned of this spot I knew I had to get my own photo of the iconic view. I only had a few lenses to choose from and a huge crowd of people to work around trying to get their own photos. The photo still turned out incredible if I may say.

    This was a nice crisp cool morning during a trip to NYC. This was not an impromptu picture, it was planned prior to going to NYC. It?s a very iconic spot to take a photo and I would encourage photographers to get their own shot to hang in their homes or sale.
