Central Park Dawn
Rhododendron
… at least according to Google’s image search.
Update: a reader says it’s too early for rhododendron and Google has it wrong – more likely oleander…
Fifth Avenue
Daffodils
Spring
First really nice day of spring and crowds were out, all photographing the pink blossoms. I avoided them by lying down on the grass with my head propped up on the bottom of the tree trunk.
Pre-Spring
Hawk
Didn’t really have a long enough lens with me. This is an extreme blow-up of a tiny portion of the frame, enhanced with Gigapixel.
Huddlestone Arch
Cherished 51st State Geese?
Dusk
Screen
Leaves and Lampost
Another Autumn leaf shot from a walk through Central Park a week or so ago. This one a few steps farther along the Great Lawn from the last image.
Autumn Colors
A walk past the Great Lawn in Central Park a week or two ago, the Autumn colors at their most vivid (no saturation boost, but Fuji Velvia base curve employed).
Nature Morte
Yellow
Manhattan Skylines
We took a walk around the Central Park Reservoir with the light just perfect so I shot an in-camera sweep panorama looking towards the East-Southeast. Then, after about a 3/4 circuit, another shot of the southern park skyline with the impudent new needle-nose skyscrapers giving us the finger, below.
Bench
Also in Dyer’s The Ongoing Moment, a look at the bench in photography, how it’s been used by different photographers and how their images can be seen to play off one another. Of course, the benches under discussion were occupied by people (like the ones below I took in the early 1970s). This bird bespattered bench was in an odd, out-of-the way spot where it’s hard to imagine anyone stopping.
