Last weekend the usual crew got together for a trip to Central Park for some last minute fall foliage shots. It was a little cold out, but overall turned out to be a really fun day.
The rest of the gallery is HERE.
This weekend I got together with a few of my online photographer friends and we decided that it would be a good idea to take the tour of roosevelt island which was part of the Open House NY weekend. It didn’t take long for us to realize that we wanted no part of the official tour and broke away from the pack to do our own thing.
I didn’t take nearly as many pictures as I had hoped I would, but I did manage to get a few decent shots.
There are a few more here.
After only 2 months I finally got around to adding some more pictures to my NYC gallery. Here are a few of the new ones.

I thought I would finish off the week with a few more black and white shots from my city trip. I am now official hooked on architectural photography. I have always loved macro photography and repeating patterns and I think it really shows in my architecture photos. I have very few shots of entire buildings and only used my favorite 10-20mm lens a few times during the day. I was more interested in making large scale “macro” shots out of the patterns seen on the buildings, and I was very happy with the rusults.

I hope to add a few more shots soon. I just need to find the time to post process the rest.
This is one of my favorite shots of the day. We had been walking around the city for about 5 hours and covered a pretty large area. After taking the subway from Grand Central to 23rd street, we ended the day in front of the Supreme Court building and it was time to head back. We found the nearest subway station, which happens to be the last stop on the line and when we got down the stairs, there wasn’t a single person in sight. I took advantage of this rare opportunity and snapped this picture.
