I hope this was the last snow storm for New York this Winter.

Isamu Noguchi's Red Cub in Lower Manhattan

Red Cube Close Up

Food Carts are a common site outside Manhattan office buildings. Across the street is Zuccotti Park, made famous by the Occupy Wall Street sit ins a few years ago.

Snow on Water Street

I shot a video in the snow with my new E-M5 MK II in 1080 60p and slowed the motion in Adobe Premiere Elements. Here's the link to the video on Flickr.

It's nothing special. I just wanted to see how the falling snow looked in slow motion.

I'm not sure whether I like this better in color or black and white - thoughts?

And for context here's a wider angle:

Some of both. For these I only walked short distances. Left work early because I thought rush hour traffic with the heavy snow would become a nightmare. Was very pretty snow and I decided I had to park and walk about with my camera a bit. Really need snowshoes to go very far through this with any grace.

SkiHound · Mar 7, 2015

Very nice.

rclatter · Mar 7, 2015

Great shots! I love the contrast of the red and white.

That video is interesting too - I like seeing the detail in the snow slowed down.

Some interesting props from those protesters.

Be assured that someone is trying to corner this market too, probably those who already sell the Guy Fawkes masks. On this cynical note I hope that this will be a good day for a shoot for everyone.

We have had a few days lately where temperatures shifted 60 degrees between daylight and dark.

B&W for me.

I LOVE those first two shots the best! Very nice!

What great lighting, timing and composition. It's so well set up that looks like a grab from a movie.

They both work, but I prefer the b&w. The contrasting tones pop more in the b&w.

I like the first here. It looks like sheet ice rather than snow. And I like the footsteps too

It was 17C in London today, something of a blip I suspect but at least it means that spring is on the way.

yyr · Mar 7, 2015

Nope. And they are cute - especially the first.

yyr · Mar 7, 2015

That looks REALLY heavy. I like the third and enjoyed the video. I'm relieved we escaped winter this year.

The third kid is my grandson, so I'm partial!

B&W for me.

But I really think this second is good too. I would do a bit of distortion correction to get that chimney straight and kill the highlights a bit but other than that it's a nice shot and I prefer it to the first, especially with that ice in the water.

Like this one a lot. Those two contributors look like twins. Only the shoes seem different from the back side anyway. I would be tempted to do some cloning on the two corners here. (I say this after posting an image below where I didn't notice the intrusion into a corner until after I posted it! :-( )

Andrew

I looked hard at your shots but didn't notice anythin offensive.

I considered cloning but in the end decided I rather liked the intrusions. I felt that they stopped the shot from looking too clinical.

rickreyn · Mar 7, 2015

I take it you like the Mark II. Video's nice! All your previous wonderful shots on the M10?

rickreyn · Mar 7, 2015

Love the battlefield scene!!
