I know New York very well, better even than my husband who lived this short distance from it for most of his life. Philadelphia and New York have a similar rivalry to that of Glasgow and Edinburgh - cultural, native, sporting, jovial with an edge of cynicism.
My sister in law needed to pick up some things from the fashion district in midtown Manhattan, so I thought it was the perfect opportunity to try out my new lens - a nifty fifty.
I'm not happy with how my photos turned out, but I've left them largely unedited except for the black and white ones. I'd only ever used my lovely large Sigma until now. Learning how to frame, focus and light with the standard 50mm is a fun challenge. And if it means more trips to NY to perfect my pictures, well that's okay too.

To be honest, I don't follow many photoblogs because it's really hard to find a good, original one. I know only a little bit of photography but I can tell when a photo is well done or not and yours are amazing, specially the ones with low light, Im loving the results and laughing at the creepy face!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. They make me want to visit NYC again :)
