Just 43 degree in the middle of October here in NYC.  I've hardly experienced any Oct in NYC this cold.  I know this is just a cold blast to bring unseasonably low temperature to the region just for this week since next week, according to forecast we will be back in the 60s.  When the hurricanes are more active, we'd get tropical warm air through November.  Then again hurricanes may bring warm air but it's disastrous for the south and NYC hasn't had a direct hit for long time and we are definitely not looking for that.

This was taken last night near 6 ave and 14th street.  I had a wonderful supper time at the Coffee Shop Bar in Union Square and just walking off the weight as we headed back to the train.  I was walking with my D200 and 50mm F1.8 in hand.  I set my EV to 3.5, aperture at the widest, and 1/25 shutter.  I just walk and shoot for that ultimate night street experience.  This was done on raw and processed through photoshop element.  Just like shooting film I'd prefer raw so i could take my time to compose a shot and get the opportunity to capture all the spectrum of lights and colors to better render them or simply make them real.

It's been a turbulent week but everything ended on the positive note.  It's 830am on a beautiful Saturday morning.  I woke up early due to some eventful dreams that prevented me from closing my eyes again.  These dreams are not exactly nightmares but they are simply too realistic.  Just an hour ago the sky was clear with a few scattered clouds.  I told myself that I should stick with today's plan to go shopping.  Now one hour passed, the sky is becoming overcast.  I know another system of rain is coming from the west.
