While chaperoning a field trip to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, I found some time to photograph the historic CRRNJ terminal while waiting for our ferry to depart.

All photos are shot with a Canon 40D and EF 50MM f/1.4 USM lens. The RAW images were imported into Aperture and edited with Nik Software (Sharpen Pro, Define, Color Efex Pro, Silver Efex Pro and/or HDR Efex Pro).

This is the entrance to the terminal. I think this building photographs well in black and white.

An overhead shot of the signage directing passengers to the train platforms.

One of the platform signs. You can see how overgrown the platforms now are in the  background.

Another image of the overgrown platforms. This is an HDR image of a single shot where I created multiple exposures from the RAW file. 

Here is another HDR image in color of one of the archways showing NYC in the background.

Looking out into the Hudson River, you can see the Verrazano-Narrows bridge to the south.

Another sign for the train platform in color.

Once aboard the ferry, I took the following image departing at about mid-day. This is an HDR image, again made from a single image with multiple exposures from the RAW file.

Upon returning from the Statue of Liberty in the late afternoon, I took the following image. The light was not very favorable as can be seen in the reflections off the water in the foreground.

Thanks for visiting!
