Hi Mood,
Thanks for the kind comments. Your summer images from your trek were fantastic.

Hi Mike,

The summer sunset was taken from my condo balcony.

I do commercial licensing of my images.

1st shot...taken at a summer street fair in NYC. The lady was eating a banana while yelling at her 'husband'. I just stumbled upon it and grab a few snaps

The Chrysler building shot was handheld

Thanks for the kind comments  

Thank you Leung  

Thank you BarryD3

Thanks Zee71  

Thank you Kgilby

Hi Dez,

Yes I'm still the man who hides all of his reject images  

Thank you Sanford
Finding interesting compositions in NYC is fairly easy  

Thank you Mr. Graceful  

 

Hi Chris,
Thank you for the kind compliments. My default stitching software is PTgui. CS3 has a nice stitching engine but I still prefer PTgui for it level of user control.

Hi JPS,

All the credit goes to the software PTgui. Its stitching engine handles most of the problems with moving objects. The program also can output a stitch in PSD format with layers and masks for additional corrections in CS3.
Here is a link to a simple tutorial I made a while ago ...http://rfcgraphics.com/Ptgui/tutorialptgui.html

Hope your summer is fun and rewarding  

Hi RickyG,

The real magic is the software PTgui. You can dl a demo at www.ptgui.com
Bottom line... I shoot fast and let the software worry about the moving objects. Also when necessary, layers and masking corrections are done in CS3. http://rfcgraphics.com/Ptgui/tutorialptgui.html

Hi Ronnie...

Finally Gotcha !!!! LOL

The Oval Buddah was at the IBM building at 590 Madison Avenue. It was on display there because it was too large to fit at his exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum. http://www.newyorkology.com/archives/2008/05/too_big_for_bro.php

Hope you and your family are having a wonderful summer  

Hi Tblazi

Moving objects and Panoramas....PTgui rules !
I posted a link to a simple tutorial above if you are interested.

The nikkor 35-70 is my default walk around lens. Sharp and light, it fits my needs. I really enjoy street photography and when mounted on a D200 it is very discrete  

Thanks for the kinds comments  

Thanks Olddogg,

The 35-70 is one of nikon's best bargains at this point in time  

Thank you Gu32
