These were some of the novice shots that at the time was pretty cool for me starting out with low light. I had no knowledge on anything like lens or quality just aperture and used it until I could have stepped up. Times Square have changed massively over the years from the flow of traffic that have slowed down to the side avenues that have been turned into small park for tourist attraction, more change has been made lately in the center of the Square with a major face lift, it&#8217;s very well done and have been improved much more due to an explosion in times square years ago. For those who forgot that this happened. For the images, it&#8217;s not much but it&#8217;s just a look back into time.<br \/>\nI will add some old captures sometime in the future but for now, enjoy \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<div  class='hr av-1qwihng-789471fee6cf2697c237c38b66830450 hr-short hr-left'><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\r\n\n<div id=\"topcontinfo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"framecontainer\">\n<div class=\"imgpix\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bbox\" src=\"..\/..\/intl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/everydayphoto\/timessquare10yrsago2.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"num\">02<\/div>\n<div class=\"txtinfo\">Middle of the cage in Times Square.
