Dez, Not sure what a circular polarizer is but these shots are excellent. The Mayor's office is the best. Did you stick the camera thru the gate?

 

[Dez Santana]

Thanks Brad. I use the Nikon CPII Thin circular polarizer. I used to have a 72mm and changed it to a 77mm, so they would fit all my lenses, including the 18-200 VR with a step ring.

Yes, I got City Hall through the fence. One day I will get in there (Bloomberg is my employer) and take a full shot w/no obstructions :biggrin:

very cool pictures Dez...my fav is still the one of Manahattan Bridge between the buildings. I love the changes in perspective. Really like all the B&Ws too.

Thank you Barb. I retook that Manhattan Bridge photo today. I wanted it wider.

The Zephyr is a tour boat that goes around Manhattan.

Please tel me you weren't driving when you took #2 & 3. Please? It looks like the passenger seat perspective. But please put me at ease?

Nice shots Dez.... as you know, I have always liked your shot of #1. Very nice. Seems like you like the Brooklyn Brg, eh? Hehe... you and I both.

I dunno why you need to shoot through the fence at City Hall... you can pretty much walk right up to the building. The fountain there is quite nice.

 

[gabriel_felipe]

like always great shots,
but I wanted to know: how many pictures you have taken to the bridge? maybe you can try from the river, I mean, under the water...

keep sharing

Oh Rich. I'll put you at ease. I was in the passenger seat :wink:

Thank you. Shot #1 isn't the original shot that you saw a few months back. I retook that shot yesterday for a wider view at 17mm. And yes, I love the BB :tongue:

Yes, i know about City Hall. Used to work across the street:

Nice shots.... a little closer and you might see Bloomberg in his cubicle! :biggrin:

The b&w shots are stunning Dez, especially the first 2. Well done my friend.
