Hi Sven, thanks for commenting,
Yes indeed, 12mm with f/4, ISO 500 and 0.8 seconds handheld from across the street right up to the curb to be able to get as close to the passing taxi's as possible, I have some more shots from a few yards further away and it's no problem at all fitting the whole building into the frame.
you are very right and very welcome, thanks for commenting
Thank you Roger, I can imagine you missing it down in sunny Florida, NY is great this time of year, it's all geared up for christmas with a wonderfull atmosphere...

So I just came back from a short vacation (please read no further
if you are offended by such trivial posts...)
I won't go as far as to call these photos 'Artistic', so I'll call
them 'Artsy'.
What I mean is I zoomed, skewed and moved a lot during the creation
of these shots, and than used some unsual ACR conversion techniques
pumping color and contrast to a 'pleasing' level.
All shots taken with D2h with either a 70-200 VR or a 12-24 DX, the
difference is of course apparent. Most often long shutterspeeds,
handheld or tripod supported, ISO usually at 800 or up, sometimes
(tripod) as low as 200 which is atypical for me.
So here's a small number of the grand total, taken recently in New
York & Washington, I have to thank Janet, RFC, James, Brent, Ron
and others for helping me out in the preparation for the trip, I
appreciate it a lot!
Guggenheim:
Empire state:
Statue of liberty:
MoMA:
Starbucks:
St Patricks (0.8 seconds handheld!)
Chrysler from ESB:
Washington Monument:
Lincoln at dusk:
Seagull in my shadow:
National Archives:
If you have any questions about any of these feel free to ask, even
though this post is just for showing you some photos, if I can help
anyone with some information I would be more than happy to. Thanks
for watching these
Cheers,
Sander Meurs
