NYC - my view

[cosworth]

I had the luxury of spending a few days in the city. I didn't even know where to start. I always look up in cities. So going to NYC I admired the architecture straight away. I was staying near Times Square but wore out a pair of shoes walking at night and sometimes during the day.

I didn't get enough shots of people since where I was there was either WAY too many people, or there were NO people. I sometimes had to retreat to the hotel room for a break from the Times square mayhem. I simply can't imagine what it's like in summer.

Here are some samples below. My street photography isn't as strong as others and I bow to them. I had shopping to do amongst other things and I wish I could just take the camera out for a couple days with no strings attached. I bought some extension tubes and a bag at B&H, had some macro fun back in the hotel room with my watch.

Jason, something's wrong with link, and there are no photos here. Would love to see them! Too bad I didn't get to meet you while you were in town.

My cheap little ftp client capitalizes folders. Uninstall that p.o.s. - back to WS-FTP.

Thanks for sharing your view... I love the shots. My son went nuts over your horse shot- He said your timing was exact. :)

[SuzyView]

NYC really is colorful. I love the city. Nice selection of shots, Jason.

I edited the first post, there was a picture I was going to save for later but added it. That little old lady shot was my favourite.

I remember that pic! That is an AWESOME shot. beautiful.

[BottomBracket]

Excellent series, quite a variety of well taken shots. I have to agree that the first one is the best of the group. Got anymore aerial shots?

[Grace]

The fisheye did great in GCS! very cool.

Nice shots, what lens did you use?

[arrgeebee]

Great captures. My experience is limited with photography in general but I find it amazing that shots from a 1d are immediately recognizable. Simply beautiful.

[cosworth]

70-200 2.8 IS for the long shots, wide was 17-40 and the sigma 15mm fishy.

[Mills]

Fantastic series Jason! WoW. You Guy's had a Blast.

[Maureen Souza]

I like what you've captured, Jason.

Makesd me wonder when I can get a trip to NYC squeezed into my hectic schedule:)

[SBCmetroguy]

Oh... my... GAWD... I have got to get to NYC someday. I love Chicago so I think I will REALLY love NYC!

[ooo]

Nice set of pictures, first one is the best although I do like the horse one as well.

[Gujustud]

Looks like you had a blast. I do like the 2nd to last one.

GPS not approved for IFR? :P Says who? hahaha..

[theflyingkiwi]

I like the photo of the little old lady. It makes ya wonder what the story behind it is.

I also like the photo of the subway as well.

[vdubtornado]

[Flo]

I revisited this thread... and glad I did! I adore this one:)

[whiskaz]

Jason, killer shot of Grand Central Station. Great shots all around.

[sadowsk2]

Nice pics but "What!?!" no St. Patrick's Cathedral???

Ahhh I love NYC!

[Chandler.]

Great shots. I love the one of the little old lady. Did she ask you what you were doing? I'm sure that 70-200 could be a little intimidating to some.

[cosworth]

We walked past it (the back) , but I had to get to the helipad.

[Joetaco]

great plane shot! i digg it!

[Etienne]

Hi Jason
Fabulous shots!! I love the saturation. seems like you had a really great time.
Take care
Etienne
PS: I really like the 1Ds I bought on your recommendation, thanks!

[squashed]

#2 is spectacular !! Thats one of the views in my mind from our trip to NYC.

[elader]

really really nice. I grew up there. Its cleaner and better focused and exposed than I remember it.

[rammy]

Great shots! Loved viewing the gallery. Great walkaround pics. Really like your night shots of the bridges.

[woolbr8stl]

I really like your shooting style. I know this thread is old, but I just came across it.

nice pictures with interesting angles

Jason, what settings.. ISO, shutter etc were you using for the night shots, the one where the people are waiting to cross in times square in particular. Were you hand holding the 70-200 with that?

[otlip]

Your hots of the Brooklyn Bridge are great. I work on a tugboat in NYC and love to see the bridge at night.
Thanks for sharing

[Cliqtography]

awesome shots.. gotta love the city

[Ben Howard]

those shots, especially the one of everyone in the city posted on the 1st post are so awesome

[cosworth]

Thanks for the compliments eveyone.

I leave my exif intact in all my posted shots. It should be there. You can save the shot and open it in windows, using firefox you can use their exif plugin or on a mac you can see it with Safari as well.

Handheld they were, but that one in particular I'm leaning on a mailbox.
