Old Surrogate's Court


Gee, Base10 is making a habit of taking some photos whenever he leaves work. This is an image of old Surrogate's Court on Chambers Street and Centre Street. It is a breathtaking old building. I'm not happy with this image, though. The perspective is all wrong. I have to see if a better photograph of the courthouse can be taken at a different angle.



This is a detail of the left side of the courthouse's entrance. I'm also not happy with this image. The Concord did not produce a sharp image, even with Photoshop contrast correction.



This is the right side. This came out a little better after tweaking with the highlight/shadow tool.



This is the side entrance of the courthouse. If it looks vaguely looks familiar, it's because it is often used in exterior shots on police dramas like Law and Order and its many variations. The top of the facade of the building also has some absolutely stunning sculpture, but it's very hard to see from street level and Base10 can't figure out how to capture an image just yet.
