ProductSuperiorJenn, ZeroDaze and I made some time to ride our bikes out to Coney Island a month or two ago. While quite a departure from its former glory (Thanks Thor Equities! It's really great that instead of all the amusement rides at Coney Isle and the Revere Sugar refinery in Red Hook we get to look at a bunch of weed filled, empty, and patently undevelopable lots!) there were still more interesting things to look at than I had time to devote. It ranks as one of my favorite photo outings in the city and in general an amazing day. Shots with D300, 70-300VR and 50mm 1.8 lenses.

It's becoming almost impossible to keep up with the amount of photos I've been taking lately, so I've decided to post a portion of what we just went on a bike ride to see. It's been a while since we've done an epic ride down to Coney Island, and I'm really happy to have been able to take some photos from it—not to mention finally ride the Wonder Wheel and Cyclone! The trick for me though, has been figuring out color in the photos after shooting on an overcast day. I'm still not completely satisfied. There's got to be a way to tweak the color while NOT over processing/working the image. Or is the idea that you don't do much on rainy days?
