# Photo Friday: New York City HDR

As much as some of my friends who are professional photographers dislike HDR as a gimmick, it's a fun gimmick, so I do it when I can and when I see the opportunity.

This is one of my favorite shots of New York City in HDR, not just because it's dramatic and stormy, but because of the subject matter and timing. If you're not familiar with New York City, this is one of the major banks that got hit hard in the financial crisis. The photo was taken a little more than a year ago when the market was in flames, so the appearance of HDR-enhanced doom and gloom over a well known financial institution was quite apropos. Have a great photo Friday! ---
