Hux, sweet doggie faces!

Ancient Mariner, I especially like the two b&w pics. I can't quite read the sign -- what park is the first one in?
 
Awesome shots as always AM.

Here are a few I got around to processing.

I took this one today while at Central Park with my daughter.

The rest are from last summer.

I don't know who pics I like better. Mariner's or Dragon's. The two of you wonderfully capture the magic of what is the best city in the world. :adore:

Oh and the Lizard and Doggie pics..... :adore:


And Squiggle's new home... :techman:

Thanks! That's Madison Square Park, which is next to the Flatiron Building (West 23rd Street to West26th Street - which, interestingly enough, is not exactly near the more famous Madison Square Garden, which is several blocks away).

The neat thing is, those last few shots from SD are from a photo shoot we did together last August. I haven't finished uploading mine either, but you can see some of them HERE. I love being able to compare the shots and see how SD captured the same setting. It's pretty damned cool (and inspiring)! :techman:

Likewise! It's awesome to see your Roosevelt Island shots, too. I especially like the shot of the bridge, and the one of the pipe and railing. Great stuff!

ETA:
Just a couple more of mine from that day:

It's like the seagull is ready for his close up. :D
 
It is definitely cool seeing how we each interpreted the same scene. Unfortunately I wasn't prepared when the geese took off. We should do it again some time!

Eddie, the metadata from AM's shot shows he had his camera set at a shutter speed of 1/5000.

Thanks! I'm way behind when it comes to learning the right shutter speeds and other settings for cameras.

It may simply be a case where I've deliberately gone out to shoot birds in flight many times before so that was more readily on my mind when we saw the flock (gaggle?) sitting there on the walkway.

And yes, we'll definitely set up another shoot. I was in Central Park and up on East 83rd-86th today.

Yeah, when it comes to shooting action, especially birds, you need a shutter speed of at least 1/1000. In this case, I just spun the wheel as quickly as I could to jack up the shutter speed as the birds were taking off - I actually spun it too far, which is why it's so far in excess of 1/2000 (usually unnecessary) and there's a subtle loss of image quality (increased grain) as a result.
