Crackin pics mate, very impressed
Weather looks awesome and your pictures are superb mate, was thinking of you the other day as we just booked 6 days there in February next year, can't wait.
Amazing how limited the view is from the Empire State Building is in the Summer due to the haze (in all pics, not just yours), in the winter months you can see several states.
Where did you go/what did you do anyway? Did you get to go up The Top of the Rock?

The weather really was fantastic. 90+ every day. Its horrible coming home to this rain!
We went up the Empire State Building on the 1st evening and stayed up there until it was dark so i did get lots of different pics but as you say, it was quite hazy.
We did go inside the Rock but decided against going up it due to time limitations, etc. Think we saw just about everything else though although I did want to walk along Brooklyn Bridge. We did the boat trip to Liberty Island and then to Ellis Island which i thought was very good. Ground zero was very moving too and the memorial inside the Ellis Island museum showed the view of where the twin towers used to be with a photo just in front of how it used to look!

Only using a Canon 400d with 17-85mm IS lens. First time i've been out with it and have to say that compared to the kit lens, it is miles ahead.
Really wish i had a tripod for the night shots though but IS did help ALOT!

some nice photos there. did you take any of the lobby of the Chrysler Building? that's the only place i missed off my list when i went (got there too late in the day) and someone had especially asked me for photos
Not sure LOL! I shall have a look!
btw, that scaffolding has been on the building next to the Flatiron building for about 5 years I think! Everytime we go it's still there...
(pic taken Feb 07!)
nice pics but whats with all this diamond shaped framing people seem to be doing, not sure if its just me but I really do find it annoying, like its trying too hard to look like something its not, i have to tilt me head to look at the pics properly. Like I said, might just be me but i'm not a fan of those types of photos, its funny though, i only seem to see them mostly on here, is it a CS thing that someone started doing it and people copied or is it actually a common style of framing?

Great photos Andy!
It is on my to do list to go to NY one day. As Chris said, I think it works very well with the first shot too. At the end of the day composition rules can be broken and no one says you have to use the rule of thirds etc. I take car shots like that sometimes, but iirc, I haven't taken many, if any, landscape shots using that framing technique. Good job Schwepp!

Some great pics there bud!
M&M world is amazing, did you get on the Staten Island ferry then? Never got to go to Ellis/Liberty Island as the queue to get over there was 3+ hours so we gave it a miss. Shame you didn't get to do top of the rock, the view of central park is immense
What do you use to edit your photos btw?

I've got a Mac so i use iPhoto to edit and then Photoshop to do creative stuff. But havent used photoshop in any of these ones. The border and copyright is done with a program called Downsize.
