Coney Island, Brooklyn

[swandy]

All taken with EP2 and 14-42 zoom. (Planned on taking a few older legacy lenses but the temp was going to be a bit chilly by the time I got there, so figured I would just take the kit zoom. Also planned on getting to the boardwalk for sunset, but the wind chill by the beach was about 10 degrees - not for my older bones.)
All using various Art Filters, straight out of camera, resized for posting. (Only the square shot of Wonder Wheel was cropped.)
Comments welcome,
Steve.

Thanks Helen.
When was that first picture taken - since most of those booths/games are unfortunately no longer there. Brings back memories.

I was wondering the same thing-- I moved to NYC in 1984 from California and my future husband used to take me there all the time (and then over to grab Russian food nearby)-- it always represented "real" New York to me.

Not the same.
