NYC Meetup 2007

[Unimaxium]

Looks like I get to be the one to start the thread :cheer:

I think I got some really nice photos in New York this weekend. I'm itching to share them, so I'll post a small first load now (I'd do more, but really should get to sleep). Enjoy

1. One of the first shots I took in Manhattan; taken just after leaving Calumet Photo where I rented a 24mm lens for a day (at the moment my bag only has a 50mm and a lensbaby in it, and I really wanted a wide angle for NYC).

2. Near our hotel, there was some kind of famine memorial that had some cool looking stone and stuff. In the background is the World Financial Center.

3. Construction. I like taking photos of construction because I know that some day, in perhaps a year or two, there will be a complete building there, and that people will forget what was in that place before. ;-)

4. From on top of the famine memorial thing. The photo above was taken from about the same location, but facing about 90° to the left. Our hotel is that building on the left. The World Financial Center is on the right. Ground zero is down the street (hard to see at this size)

5. Jersey City, taken from the waterfront near our hotel. This is actually part of a panorama that I plan to post later

6. A long exposure in Times Square

7. Another Times Square shot.

8. One more:

Hope you enjoy

So few photos only. I want to see MORE!
And soon! *stomps foot*



Hey folks, I am really, really, really curious to see many more of your photos, also photos of MEMBERS! Though it looks good to see pics from NYC again (it'll soon be a year since we were there, imagine that: another YEAR! *shakes head in disbelief about how fast time flies*)
