Wednesday the 19th of March was St. Patty's day. On occasion of the event, the Empire State Building was lit fully in green. Knowing this beforehand, I decided to bring my camera in for a photo walk. What also helped was that it was about 65 out that day as well.
The photo below is of the fountain in Bryant Park. The area was roped off, as they were in the process of disassembling the ice rink that is there in the winter. I like the glow that comes from the fountain, it's almost as if I used flashes to capture this.
If you've never been to NYC before, there are hundered year old steam pipes that run underneath the streets of Manhattan. Well, these sometimes suffer cracks, which then allows steam to exit from the street. Anytime that happens, the city puts in place these temporary steam venting pipes, and block off the area. For that "only in NYC" feel for the photo, I captured a speeding taxi going by as well.
From my favorite vantage point, here is the ESB lit in green. The green reminded me of Slimer from Ghostbusters.
I was inspired to take the photo below after following maybemaq's photostream on flickr for sometime. His reflection shots are the best, my attempt at one is below. The hardest part of doing these is finding the puddles in an area that has plenty of light and a worthwhile subject, as well as nothing upsetting the water (causing ripples).
Wow! I'm always amazed at the images you capture. What wonderful gifts you have (referring to your talent and your camera).
