Atlantic Avenue Tunnel; The Oldest Subway Tunnel in the World

built in 1844, the atlantic avenue tunnel is the oldest subway tunnel in the world. a history shrouded in myth, speculation and blatant lies kept the tunnel a mystery until 1980, when it was rediscovered. partially renovated in 1982, it is now open to the public once a month for tours given by the brooklyn historical railway association.

to get into the tunnel, you have to climb into a manhole that's literally in the middle of a busy brooklyn intersection.

pseudo hdri

after some digging around, i found a nifty photoshop actions plug-in that simulates hdr images (hence, pseudo hdri.) i played around with some images and am sort of learning through process of elimination which types of images work better than others and also keeping some ideas in mind for potential true hdr images for the future. this isn't so much the attempt for the acquisition of a new "talent" as it is "yet one more thing to do on my computer to kill time during a freezing nor'easter."

here are the "better" results of my efforts thus far:
