Redddddd

Driving around Fell's Point when I visited Baltimore last December, I spotted a row of vintage beauties. Turns out the area is a weekend hangout for a group of guys almosts as old as their beloved classics. Among them were a classic Chevy Impala, with its awesome red paint job. After a few minutes of circling around it like a vulture, to the amusement of the owner, I got down to business and started snapping picture.

Grand Central Panorama

This is my first experiment with stiching a series of 3 images in Photoshop CS2. Its still crude so bare with me. The idea struck me while I was walking around Grand Central station trying to get a decent shot. Note to self, never use too wide a lense for stiching purposes. Correcting distortion can prove to be a nuissance.
So here it is. Its a work in progress, hopefully the next ones will be better. Click on it for a bigger version.

Off the ground

"Take my picture while I jump" my wife ask. Huh? I don't know about that. "Come on,it'll be fun"...ok...she's the boss...but wait...it looked great at 17mm in my viewfinder. So here's the result.

Lexington & 53rd

My first post in 2006 :). The building where I work at 5th Avenue has a subway station right under it. Still a lot of times I choose to walk 3 blocks to Lexington and 53rd to catch the train home from the station under the Citigroup Center. I get some fresh air, a bit of an exercise, and a view like the series below:

Fell's Point

I spent the Christmas weekend visiting friend's in Baltimore, MD. We had brunch on an unusually warm winter day to Fell's Point, Baltimore's up and coming waterfront. Took the opportunity to test drive a borrowed Nikkor 12-24DX...gosh I miss ultra wide angle :)
