So as I posted last night I was in NYC. I went to the photographers mecca.

B&H NYC Super store.

all I can say is WOW.

ME right out side *taken with my girlfriends camera*


by the lens set up for canon


What do I choose???



oh and I walked in with my bag of goodies and walked out with one more goodie... a new 16-35 2.8 II L WOOT!!! I got it for $1234

Here are my first couple shots with the 16-35 2.8 II

The whole macy building pretty much.


Times square at night

 

i would do terrible things for that lens.

 

lol i went to B&H when we went to NYC last year. it was crazy

I got a 70-200 f/4 IS on the way, woot!

 

The place is crazy.... I love it. My mom told my girlfriend to tie my hands together and take my credit card.. She was too late..

 

i got my 10-22 and 70-200/4 IS today.......just at work so cant really shoot anything, but i wanted to see how sharp the 10-22 was, and damn, it is SHARP

Yep. Its a great lens. Especially stopped. Down

 

well back in Washington DC now... tomorrow heading up to OH...

but anyway as many of you know i took a 3 day trip to NYC. Bought a new lens while up there (16-35 II) most were shot with that. feel free to C&C. give your opinions.. Im up for anything.

I have almost the exact same shot from when I was in NYC. Did you go downstairs? There's another pretty cool spot to take a picture. lemme see if I can find it. It's nothin special. I took it with a point and shoot so be gentle...

bah I can't find it and unfortunately I have to get going cause I have a few things to do. I'll look more when I get back. NYC is my favorite place ever!

PS I'd love to see that black and white you mentioned for #2

 

very cool, brings back good memories of our trip their.

1 suggestion on #2, cut out a little vertical sliver on the left so it is a little more symmetrical

 

Those shots are phenomenal David. #2 is one of the best photos I've ever seen. Wow.

 

as mentioned here is the BW of number 2




Thanks all... And thanks for the suggestions...

heres my set from my return home to washington DC.. Stopped there for a couple days before going to NYC and to ohio and now I am sitting back home in springfield MO lol

some pics i took at scrapin the coast 09.

 

 

What kind of settings for the fireworks? Mine do not nearly look as cool as that haha

 

I was gonna say the same thing cept my issue was location cus I was hella far away and forgot my tele lens. The settings will depend on the lens obviously but a shutter of 3-5 seconds should get you a trail and explosion depending on how high they are going.

 

I used a tripod, the bulb setting, and set the aperture small, so I could leave the shutter open as long as I needed to.

#1 is a bulb setting, ISO 200 and f/18.0
#2 is a bulb setting, ISO 200 and f/14.0
#3 is a bulb setting, ISO 200 and f/14.0

 

Well, I debated about ordering another 70-200/4 IS after I sent the last one back but decided to try out the 70-200/2.8 non-IS and see how I could handle it. I don't have the best hands for a photog, but I will be mainly using it in bright, outdoor conditions, so I figured I'd try it without IS.

Here are a few shots just from yesterday

A Navy P-3 Orion was doing a flyby right over the house when I got home, so I grabbed my gear and took a few...this was the best. (this was resized down, but also cropped)





Then Mary and I took the dogs to the park ...Mary (my fiance) not really wanting to pose...



Blitz and his crazy tongue



Both of the boys



Mary and the boys





AND MY FAVORITE...I have caught Tyson in some funny shots mid-air before, but this is by FAR my favorite





Anyways, I am extremely happy with the lens. Unless I start shooting in dark situations with the lens, I don't think I will need the IS, so yay me!

 

those are all great man!!

I love the last one!

 

this image is severely cropped cus of how far away I was and unfortunately for me I only had my 14-42 with me so zoomed all the way in this seems to be one of the better ones I got

 

Took a ride over the weekend and took a few pics. Nothing like what you guys are putting up but here goes nothin...Be gentle! LOL

BTW keep in mind I was wrestling an 11 month old puppy who wanted to chase everything while I was taking these pictures LOL

 

here are some of my better ones from 4th of july. shot w/ 10-22mm, M mode, shot at 5, 15, 30 sec. was experimenting with it. i hate shooting fireworks but had to shoot since i had my 30D and tripod handy. as always CC welcomed.

 

really like the 3rd and 4th ones gabe!

 

4th one is amazing gabe!!
