So after shooting the waterfront from Camden, Bev and I went to BJ's to pick up supplies and then went to dinner at our new favorite restaurant. Love the Capri Insalata there....hmmmm! On our way back I asked if we could go by the Silver Diner and I took a few shots. Went home. Burped. Nice night! Not too bad for 1/8 second hand held with no VR. Must have been very calm when I shot.

Slight CCW rotation and crop twice. Layer adjustments for levels, brightness/contrast and hue saturation. Layer of curves adjustment. Dang if I could find any dust spots. Guess they are all in the dark areas. Sharpen. Resize. Sharpen.
OK....for the train thing....the shape of the neon behind the name of the diner is that of a fork....I know it's a stretch but my smiley face and fork reflection without mirror shot just did not pan out. Sorry!

Post: Thanks again to my friend Bev for driving me around. Good Pic night! Thanks Bev!!
A note about the top of the sign in the circle. It has not worked for some time. I reviewed another shot I took of this in 2005 and it was not lit then either.
Thanks for the comments and the top 10 finish!
