New York City skyline 3 different ways

The view from the Reebok Center on the 67th floor is not one I get to enjoy that often. But I did for 4 nites last year when a trio of us from LA went to conquer the NY triathlon.

One of my very connected friends scored us a sweet pad with views like these and of Central Park. Heaven for the tripod shooter in all of us.

The in focus colored one will join the subway trains from the next post on the wall of the Perfect Exposure Gallery in LA for a Dec 6th opening. Yeah!

Yes, we all finished the triathlon. I've not done one since. But will again.

All shots taken with a Canon 5D on a tripod with a 70-200 2.8 IS lens.
Plenty of photoshop of course.

BTW, Scott Kelby is coming to LA Dec 4 for his lightroom tour. Not to be missed if you want to learn a ton from the man who writes the books.

New York City subway trains

The US Open is one of the greatest events to attend. Period.

Little did I realiize the US Open would be responsible for my most popular picture.

As I was walking in to the Open from the train in Flushing Meadows I spied this scene looking over the bridge between Shea Stadium and The Open.

I made a mental note to take a picure on the way back. My friends and I were in a hurry and they would have been n no mood to wait while I whipped out my camera.

On the way back turned out to be almost midnite. I feared the shot would be gone since it was so dark. At that time I was shooting with a Sony digital that had a night infrared setting. I clicked off two shots.

The response to the picture has been so great. This picture will hang in the Perfect Exposure Gallery exhibit starting November 6 and into January.

I'm told by a New Yorker that you can tell which train is which by the shape of the window in the front. Round vs that odd shape. More on this later.
