well, as many of you know, i spent the day shooting in nyc with my good friend and fellow stfer, harry behret. we had a ball as is our usual.

i got in early this morning (couldn't sleep for some reason!) and so i took a walk into brooklyn and then back over the brooklyn bridge. i shared this shot earlier, but that was a quickie edit while at starbucks waiting on harry :)



and here's another on the brooklyn bridge:



finally caught up with harry at starbucks, and after a triple tall no foam latte, we wandered up towards chinatown in the pouring rain:



we then went underground, for a quick subway ride up to times square, we heard there was some excitement going on up there ;)



here's harry shooting my picture of the day on the kodak jumbotron:



whew... harry said he was tired and hungry, so we went to virgil's bbq for a small bite of health food. (i hope nc notices!). virgil's is outstanding -- i had ribs & chicken, harry had pulled pork. all of it, outta this world, good.



harry's like a sherpa - he hauls about twenty nikon lenses, every accessory known to man, his nikon d100, a flash, and his sony f717 :) he is prepared for anything, let me tell you!

after lunch, we shot one more of the kodak thing. by the way: on the 828, the shutter lag is so much less than on the 717. i tried to get this shot with my 717 for another stfer a few months ago, and couldn't. you only have about 1 second to get the photographer's name and the photo on the big screen together. i tried with my 717 5 times and couldn't do it. today, with the 828, i got the shot on my very first try:



then, we headed over to rockefeller center.. just for kicks.



st. patrick's cathedral is just across the way, why not step in out of the rain and get some divine guidance?



i just love shooting in cathedrals:)



here's st. jude:



all in all, a great day and i thank harry for doing the town wtih me again!

i have to say, about the sony f828: it is an incredible performer! it's great to schlep around all day with it on my tripod, it rests on my shoulder so nicely. it got wet, all day.. even though i had a bag covering it... and the camera is no worse for it... i took plenty of shots in varying situations again today, and the image quality is outstanding. colors true, the white balance is very accurate. oh and the prints - i made several big prints tonight already, the quality is just great. i'll say it again, in case anyone hasn't heard, this is a fantastic camera. an improvement, featurewise and quality over my 717.

Congratulations on your photo of the day. What a way to have it displayed. I truely enjoy looking at your (and Harry's) adventures through New York. One day I will do something similar around my little city of Hobart.

Andy,

Great pics but you should have left the one of me out. Its just too much competition for the other shots.

Seriously thats an outstanding series of pics. I remember the first time we shot the POTD at Times Square. You had your 717 then and you could not capture the moment when the name is flashed on the screen because of the shutter lag. Today with the 828 you caught it on one try.

Harry

Thanks for the tour and the wonderful pictures. I'm not so sure I could do what you guys did, walk around in the rain, hauling all that photo equipment with tripods and such. Heck, I can't do that in good weather! :-)

I looked at that subway entrance and was thinking that I had never seen that before. That's when it dawned on me that I haven't been on a NYC subway in 30 years...

A most enjoyable series of pictures, and as always so very well done.

Thanks again,

Olga
 
Hi Andy,

Again... congrats on your big day!

This is a great series, and I love the pictorial style! :-) 828 sure does seem to be performing quite well for you.

That lunch looks so good I can barely stand it. I had Cheerios for lunch.

In this photo the unbrella doesn't have the handle part...is that the work of PS or was the person moving so fast (with a slow shutter) that the handle didn't form part of the image?

BTW congrats on the Kodak POD!
 
Nice pics!
One question: the Rockefeller tree, was that shot at ISO64 priority?
I'm asking cause you see the movement of the people.

pork. all of it, outta this world, good.



harry's like a sherpa - he hauls about twenty nikon lenses, every
accessory known to man, his nikon d100, a flash, and his sony
f717 :) he is prepared for anything, let me tell you!

after lunch, we shot one more of the kodak thing. by the way: on
the 828, the shutter lag is so much less than on the 717. i tried
to get this shot with my 717 for another stfer a few months ago,
and couldn't. you only have about 1 second to get the
photographer's name and the photo on the big screen together. i
tried with my 717 5 times and couldn't do it. today, with the 828,
i got the shot on my very first try:



then, we headed over to rockefeller center.. just for kicks.



st. patrick's cathedral is just across the way, why not step in out
of the rain and get some divine guidance?



i just love shooting in cathedrals:)



here's st. jude:



all in all, a great day and i thank harry for doing the town wtih
me again!

i have to say, about the sony f828: it is an incredible performer!
it's great to schlep around all day with it on my tripod, it rests
on my shoulder so nicely. it got wet, all day.. even though i had
a bag covering it... and the camera is no worse for it... i took
plenty of shots in varying situations again today, and the image
quality is outstanding. colors true, the white balance is very
accurate. oh and the prints - i made several big prints tonight
already, the quality is just great. i'll say it again, in case
anyone hasn't heard, this is a fantastic camera. an improvement,
featurewise and quality over my 717.

Great collection of images. I especially like the first one.

Chris
well, as many of you know, i spent the day shooting in nyc with my
good friend and fellow stfer, harry behret. we had a ball as is
our usual.

i got in early this morning (couldn't sleep for some reason!) and
so i took a walk into brooklyn and then back over the brooklyn
bridge. i shared this shot earlier, but that was a quickie edit
while at starbucks waiting on harry :)



and here's another on the brooklyn bridge:



finally caught up with harry at starbucks, and after a triple tall
no foam latte, we wandered up towards chinatown in the pouring rain:



we then went underground, for a quick subway ride up to times
square, we heard there was some excitement going on up there ;)



here's harry shooting my picture of the day on the kodak jumbotron:



whew... harry said he was tired and hungry, so we went to virgil's
bbq for a small bite of health food. (i hope nc notices!).
virgil's is outstanding -- i had ribs & chicken, harry had pulled
pork. all of it, outta this world, good.
