These photos are from my NYC photo walk of 10/2/09. This first shot is of a flower box and ornamental lamp post outside the NY Palace Hotel.
The building below caught my eye as I was walking down 5th Ave. I really like the distorted reflection on the building. The light streaks from passing taxis and a bus just add some motion to the shot.
This shot wast taken from the patio behind the NY Public Library. When I stopped by this night, there was a free concert being performed by Carnegie Hall's Ensemble ACJW.
As I was walking away from where I had taken the above shot, I noticed that the entire lawn was covered by other listners. This made for a great shot, as they were pretty well lit from a spot light shining down from one of the buildings across the street. The sky also had this erie look to it, as a storm was starting to roll in.
I caught this glimpse of the Empire State Building as I made my way down Broadway. If you walk 15 feet backward or forward, the building disappears behind the other buildings on the street.
For these next two shots, my inspiration was a shot from Thomas Hawk (a well known San Francisco photographer) titled "2nd Street." It was tough finding an area where the street lights weren't shining directly into the camera.
I think the one below is the best of the two, as the sky came out really nice, given how fast the clouds were moving.
