The Photographers thread: Show us your stuff!!

This one's for Christopher.

Eh hem!

I like street photography.

Not quite the same, I know.

Haha I did see this one.

It looks like something lurks in the lower right.

[Matt]

Yeah, he's just sunbathing.

I mentioned in the Holidays thread about a shot of San Francisco suburbs taken from the top of Mt. Davidson Park. I finally found it last night. Also couldn't post about Mt.Davidson without a photo of the cross.

[Matt]

  Thanks for those. I'm surprised the cross is as light as it is -- I thought it was brown.

KC's pictures make it look so much darker too, like the movie does:

The sun may have been on the cross in SK's picture. It was backlit in mine.

Another shot from the restaurant in Florida.



I think I've got something that doesn't include a sunset on my hard-drive here too...

Here's one from KC's corner of the world.



This was a few years back... "Strawberry Fields" in Central Park. I met the man who decorates the Imagine mosaic. He said people often bring him things for his designs, and that day, he got a few bags of bagels, so that's what he used.

This one isn't too sharp... it's a scan of a print. I have no idea if I still have the digital image file floating around. Fortunately, it's one I printed.

[KC]

^ Funny, I just passed that monument this evening, shortly after dark. There were still people hanging around, and recently-deposited flowers (though no formal decoration like the above). I was wondering if Matt had ever been there "in person." Matt, I know you probably told us back in the day, but I've forgotten.

[Matt]

This was my first time to Strawberry Fields (I had been to Central Park once when I was young), and it was after I left here. So, although you may have forgotten a lot of things (I know I have) that wasn't something you'd forgotten.

I got lucky -- I didn't realize how big Central Park was. I recognized the Dakota, and then wandered to the park, and found it. No wandering around for hours looking for it. It was really special for me.

I was there in May 2014 and it's a beautiful spot in the park. My wife and I just sat on a bench watching people go by and listening to a busker play Lennon songs. I wanted to take a photo from the street of the Dakota building but it was under going renovations and there was a lot of scaffolding around the bottom of the building so this was a much better photo taken from the park.

[Matt]

Love that picture, SK.

Looks like a beautiful place! And nice to see you and your grandson in the last photos.

Cool, SK. Love the High Line. The weather wasn't as nice when I took mine... 

[Matt]

I like this thread and since there's no shortage of images for a while, I'll keep posting. I'm glad to see others jump in here. Keep them coming!

I lived in Florida for 15 years, and had never seen the state capital, Tallahassee, until last year when I took an alternate route from Nashville to the Naples area. I was surprised to not see a city at all, but instead, a beautiful National Forest visible from I-10, which runs straight across the panhandle. I parked and hiked along the highway, trying to find a subject. I got pictures of trees, but I was frustrated because I couldn't find any focal point that really stood out, and I needed to get back on the road. I finally found this little fence, and decided it would do. It was November (last year) and the leaves were turning their autumn colors. I like this picture quite a bit. I wish I had more time to have explored the Forest and gone inside and really spent a few hours there. Maybe next time.

Like the Golden Gate Bridge, my favorite bridge linking Philadelphia to Jersey is also a suspension bridge, the Ben Franklin Bridge.

I snapped this while driving -- another through the windshield shot.

Taken in May 2014. I can't remember if I took this from the top of The Rockerfella Center or The Empire State Building.

[KC]

I think it must be the Empire State Building (34th Street). The Met Life Tower and the Flatiron Building (23rd Street) are in the immediate foreground. Rockefeller Center is almost a mile further uptown. I imagine you can see Empire State from it, too.
