Meh. Why do my second pictures tend to by crooked? I really do fine it odd that I have a tendancy to not shoot them straight.

I need to stop shooting at Iso 100 all the time and maybe even go back up to 400. 1/60 is just too slow for this project and ends up giving me blurry aspects of my pictures. There’s a lot of visible action in the first shot that was zoomed in on, unfortunately it’s not really crisp ( Read more... )

It’s taken me a few days to get these up, but I’ve been taking them. Things have a way of being busy around here lately.

I feel like it’s been a while since anyone has been parked in front of where I take my pictures. Lately, everyone has just seemed so far away. It’s nice to have something going on in the foreground once again.

Shots taken out of order again. Took them on the way to dropping the dog off at the dog place so going backwards just worked out a bit better. That truck is there again. I believe this is the first time I’ve seen it in the morning. Otherwise nothing too exciting about the image ( Read more... )

Wow. Today’s photos seem pretty crappy. The first one is pretty much directly in the sun and in the second I’m not sure that anything is in focus. I wonder what Variety is though. This is now two 1st_and_2nd’s in a row that it’s been parked on 2nd st and 1st avenue.

Even though I got up early yet again today, I decided I was getting bored with the morning shots. Not enough people out and about yet at that hour. Lots of activity this evening though. People on bikes, hanging around drinking coffee and just general out-and-about stuff.

Today’s first shot is classic NYC. Over on the left there is a cabby who stopped his car just so that he can open his door to spit on the street ( Read more... )

It’s a blah type of morning. I was up way too early and it’s already so hot and humid outside. Even the pictures are blah. I made sure to go out with my wide angle today solely for the first corner. I found THIS really great article the other day about all the development going on. I know I’ve been bummed about the community center, but the ( Read more... )

Very active 2nd avenue shot today. I like the little girl crossing the street holding her dad’s hand. And I think there’s a guy using the payphone. Wow, a working payphone in Manhattan.

If you look at the times you will see that they were shot out of order. I wanted to make sure that I got them because I was worried about the potential rain.

I like the framing of the first one. The car really helps make the woman on the corner the focus of the image. And in the second, hmm, really makes one wonder what she’s thinking.
