Einer meiner Pflichtspots in New York war das Flatiron Building an der Kreuzung 5th Avenue und 23rd Street mit der historischen Standuhr, die 1909 errichtet, einst vor dem "Fifth Avenue Hotel" stand und 2011 mit Sponsorgeldern von Tiffany komplett restauriert wurde. Regen und Wind waren erschwerend bei den Serienaufnahmen mit Stativ für dieses HDR Bild, zauberten aber reizvolle Spiegelungen auf den Asphalt. Fotografieren ist nicht immer gemütlich.

I really enjoyed shooting this location. This is a Fulton St. metro station in New York. It is in the same neighborhood as the World Trade Center and for anyone interested in shooting architecture it is one of the most interesting spots, in my opinion, on Manhattan. A ton of new structures, reflections, patterns mixed with a few interesting old NY spots, it was an afternoon well spent. For this post I choose this abstract shot, taken all the way from the bottom floor, looking up. What do you think?

I started my professional career in NYC, lived, and worked there for a while until I moved to the west coast. While I was a resident of NYC, I lived in Brooklyn in quite an unsavory part of the town. It was a bit depressing, but the little reward was the easy access to the coast from where you could get a great albeit distant view of the Manhattan island and Jersey city. On my last year there, as September 11th rolled around, there was news that it was the last time they would do the tribute in light ceremony in memory of the WTC attacks.
There are quite a few monuments in NYC and surrounding boroughs that are created in memory of the attacks. I felt the tribute in light was the most intense and heart touching. I thought it would be a good idea to get the shot of the tribute. I knew that the view from my local park was not enough, so I spend a bit of time researching the best possible spots in Brooklyn that will provide me with a view of lower Manhattan and the lights. Then I had to learn about how to capture the light beam in its full intensity. Thankfully both learning tasks were relatively easy. I was surprised by how few people were there, but watching the lights come on was such an intense and beautiful moment.
April, a nice walk in New York... I took many photos of the flat iron this morning... But this one was adviced me by my daughter, she told me "you should take these tulips as foreground", and I did so. And guess what... It's the best one of the series! :) Lens: Sigma 10-20 f/4-5.6 (click to see all my photos with this lens)

The flatiron building from in front of the fifth Ave Clock. As I went for my trip across Manhattan yesterday the weather was supposed to be nice and sunny with a lots of interesting clouds in the sky. But when I got out of my home in Brooklyn the sky was clear blue with nary a cloud in sight. So no interesting sky and lots of harsh lighting to deal with. Yay!!
But I went out anyway and visited most of the locations I had planned to visit and since this has been my fave NYC landmark (I like it even better than the Empire state building) I waited till evening before heading here hoping that the light will be better. Unfortunately this was not the case and the building iwas a challenge to photograph as the roads in this intersection are curved and tricky and the streets teaming with shoppers and tourists that it’s almost impossible to get a clear shot here. This was one of the better shots I took yesterday but I want to return here again with a more interesting view point and when the sky is a bit more interesting.

St Patrick’s Cathedral located at 5th Ave in Manhattan is one of the famous architectural landmarks of New York City. The Cathedral is a stunning example of Neo-Gothic Church architecture and was built in 1958 taking twenty yeas for completion in 1978. The Cathedral is located on 5th Ave between 50th and 51st St right next to the Rockefeller Centre and is currently undergoing renovation.
This is one of those amazing architecture structures which stayed with me and I finally got a chance to photography the beautifully striking innards of the cathedral couple of weeks ago. As one would expect the inside was pretty dark and with the security not allowing tripods, this was one tough shot to make.
I ended up hand holding the camera and cranking up the D7000 to 2500 ISO to get the three HDR shots. The fact that there was a wedding going on at the cathedral didn’t make the matters any easier as most f the locations were out of reach for visitors. If you look hard enough you can see the bride and groom at the bottom middle part of the shot and gives you an idea of the size of the church. I also thought the 2500 ISO on my D7000 cleans up so good as the shot came so much better than I thought and I barely had to sacrifice any details. One thing I learned though was that the results look a lot better if you process the RAW files for noise and lens correction before you combine them for HDR.
I am loving the results and hope everyone likes it…

“Your stairway lies on the whispering wind And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our soul There walks a lady we all know Who shines white light and wants to show How everything still turns to gold And if you listen very hard The tune will come to you at last…”
