For those of you not in the know ProductSuperiorJenn and I recently completed a move back to the great state of Texas. Things have changed quite a bit while we’ve been gone and while we haven’t had much chance to explore much I did get to fire off a couple of shots. The last three were taken on, and enroute to Jenn’s grandfather’s farm with my D300 and the 70-200VR . The first was taken with a borrowed Canon G9 (which is awesome if you can’t lug around the SLR).
Four photos of midtown Manhattan shot from the same balcony at different times: two photos during the day in a snowstorm, two photos about fifteen minutes after sunset.
I might add that at both times it was damn cold. The evening I took the night shots it was around fifteen degrees with at least a thirty mile an hour wind. Couple that with being on a forty fifth floor balcony in the tallest building in the near vicinity and you are guaranteed to be windburned and have snot frozen all over your face. Ah…good times!
All were shot hand held on my D300 with the 16-85 VR DX. I braced myself against the walls/ railings to steady the night shots.
We’ve all done it. It’s raining out, so we sit inside on the couch and play with our toys. We polish the glass, dust out the cracks, zoom-in—zoom-out, and snap meaningless photos of anything in range to pass the time. Then, sometimes, the unexpected happens. Here’s my little piece of “unexpected”.
