Where I work
I’ve been in a little bit of a photo taking slump… but now that the holidays are over, I’m going to get back in the groove. As I was walking to work, I saw somebody walk through the steam coming out of this manhole cover. I waited and waited to get a similar cool shot, but nobody wanted to walk through again. I was starting to ice over, so I gave up and took some shots of cars going by. Not the cool shot I was going for, but what can you do.
Just a quick shot from my walk to work. The photo was taken near the skating rink at Bryant Park.
I took this picture while walking home a few nights before the election. Normally, Rockefeller Center has flags from the UN member countries flying over the plaza, but running up to the election, they replaced them with US flags.
I’m still shooting with the Canon G9 on and off. I go in phases between carrying the D200 every day, or the G9 when my bag is getting overweight. I’ve also been trying out the latest version of Adobe Lightroom. If you are a Lightroom 2.1 user, you need to check out the new Camera Raw Beta 2 Profiles. I’ve noticed a huge improvement in the out of the box colors with these profiles and the Nikon D200. The G9 has a new profile also, but the improvement is not as drastic. I’ve been shooting “raw only” for years now, and it is really worth it when you see drastic improvements to a raw processor such as this.
