New York. New York.

[Ay Ay Ron]

The wife booked us 5 nights. Done a hell of a lot of walking, visited most of what we wanted and took a massive amount of photo's.

Here's a few that I have edited so far. I'll update the thread when I carry on with the editing.

Awesome stuff. I can’t wait to visit NY at some point, it’s certainly a stunning place.

 

[aucky]

f**king love that last shot! Awesome!

I still need to sift through my NYC photos :/

 

[jesus]

Amazing photos!

 

[Lal B3N]

Awesome photos! Need to go to New York some time soon, looks amazing!

 

[Jane]

Excellent photos, love the Brooklyn ones. NY is so photographic, I took so many when I was there. What programme did you edit your photos on?

 

[Brazo]

Love the first one it's very unique and I can't quite work it out- don't tell me!

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Cheers guys. Loved the place. Definitely visit again. Hopefully with sharper glass next time.

Jane - I use Lightroom to edit all of my images.

Mark - I have another few shots like that, I might post one up once you've figured it out

Maybe clone out the twigs on the memorial tower shot Aaron?

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

I'll have a look at that now in Photoshop.
Edit - Done and looks so much better. Cheers.

 

[Darren S]

Some great photos there Loved New York when I went - so full-on and manic.

Money no object, I'd love an apartment there. But I could never live there permanently - it would do my head in!

A lot cleaner :approve:

Nice pics

 

[ukaskew]

Fantastic photos, love how every single person who goes to NYC comes back with completely different styles of photo.

 

[Dan...]

They all look fantastic

I'd really love to go to New York one day - If I ever do go, I'd love to get images half as good as these!

 

[Habitual]

Cracking set as usual mate! Loved the stuff I've seen on Flickr and FB.

 

[Jack-C]

Great shots!

 

[Ash']

Just echoing what everyone else has said. Lovely shots, NYC is definitely on my bucket list.

 

[Riad]

Very nice mate

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Cheers for the feedback guys. Still ploughing through some pictures.
The Manhattan one has done pretty well on 500PX too. Made the 'upcoming' yesterday.

Another one I like is this one, taken from the High Line.

And another, from the top of the Empire state using the Opteka 6.5mm fisheye.

Escapes is very good, needs straightening.

 

[Niall]

Love the second one, right up my street (not literally of course).

 

[Mr Burns]

Awesome as always!

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Cheers again.
Brazo I've tweaked it slightly, although I can't get it spot on with matching the verticals and horizontals.

Did you enjoy the High Line? One of my favourite places in NYC now, really want to go back for an evening stroll one day.

 

[timuss]

Fantastic set of shots lovely processing. Love New York such a lively city so much to see.

Yeah it was really nice. Will be great once it's finished.
With it being winter, the trees were bare. I imagine it looks lovely in the summer, would be a very nice evening walk in warmer weather.


Thanks Titmuss. It's a place everyone should visit at least once to appreciate the sheer size of the place.

 

[Brazo]

Cheers again.
@Brazo I've tweaked it slightly, although I can't get it spot on with matching the verticals and horizontals.

Its certainly better now!

Some nice shots, my personal opinion though is to have more colour, don't think they all need to be black and white.

Cheers. I've got some more that I'm going through which are in colour. The ones I posted looked better in black and white I think, especially the Manhattan one as there was very little colour that day.
I'll chuck some more up later or tomorrow.

 

[RichyMa]

Brilliant photos - I hope to visit one day!

Fantastic pictures Aaron

Great set of pictures. Can I ask what you took with you equipment wise - were you trying to go light or did you cater for everything?

I took pretty much everything that I owned with me.
Canon 550d, 50mm 1.8, sigma 10-20mm, Canon 55-250, my mates opteka 6.5 fisheye and a small flash which I forgot to take out with me. I only used the 55-250 for one or two shots I think, I mainly used the opteka and the 50mm.

Loved NY, i was there in July unfortunatley didnt spend much time taking photos and the ones i did take were more tourist photos more than anything would love to go back for a photography trip but i reckon the overwhelming feeling NYC brings to me would sidetrack me yet again. Great photos by the way!
