Very nice. 8) Was this out of your apartment building window?

Hah, i wouldn't be able to stand living in the city. It was the Empire State Building.

Hey RyanGSams--these photos look great. I work with Adobe, and if you're looking to gain more experience with Photoshop, check this page out. What version of Photoshop are you using?

RyanGSams · 24th of October 2010 (Sun)

I have CS5. I have alot of tutorials on my computer already, but i have trouble finding time watching any, because of my work schedule. I work 5am-11am then 2pm-1030pm all weekdays and only have weekends which i use to relax or go out and take pictures. Thanks for the info.

I just seen this picture and there is that light in the air. I am curious as to what exactly that is. Could it be an airplane going in for a landing? I thought maybe it could be from camera shake, but nothing else in the picture has that shape.

It's likely a helicopter, given they're omnipresent. That said, there are three major airports in the area. Give you're facing toward the south and toward Newark (EWR), it wouldn't surprise me if it was a plane on an approach procedure.

Thats what i figured.

wow your schedule is very busy--Adobe does a lot of online tutorials and webinar sessions. Here's a link to some of their upcoming content, if you have time. Best of luck--again, your pictures look great!

Absolutely amazing shots! I purchased tickets to go to the ESB, but I'm waiting for a very cloudless night to go. Question: Is there somewhere I could put my camera on to take pictures or is traveling with a tri pod a necessary evil

Can't take a tripod up. They say its a safety hazard. There is a ledge all around when you get up. You just have to set your camera on it, which is outside the safety gate, so just make sure you have your neck strap so you can hold on to your camera in case it falls.

Thanks tpollard and blake
